Hi, Did not catch the original message only the reply below, so am sending this to the list in the hope that the original sender will see it. Newhall Street is, according to my 1989 Glasgow Street directory which I admit will now be out of date, not far from Bridgeton Cross, to the west off a street called Main Street (Bridgeton Main Street?). In the Post Office Directory of 1958/59 there are only a few numbers listed (35, 57, 34 and 32), suggesting that the rest of the street may have been demolished before this time, as much of this area was. The 1881 census lists 20 fanlies at this address, including Ann CRAIG. The reference si volume 644/1 enum dist 43 page 13, in case you have not found this. She is there with her daughter, Elizabeth. If you have not seen this extract,let me know and I will send you what there is.
