Have you bought any credit for ''Scotlands people'' its pay per view- you could spend some time poking about and see if you can see anything

The nearest cemetery to Drive Road, Govan is Craigton Cemetery. If you contact Bereavement Services, Glasgow city Council giving the names and dates of death for your Nana's parents they will be able to tell you if they are buried in Craigton Cemetery. Cardonald Cemetery is another possibility. As current bereavements are the Council's priority it can take a few weeks to get a reply.

Did Elizabeth have any brothers or sisters that you are aware of, and did she talk of her parents?

Scottish records are pay-per-view, not subscription, so more difficult and costly for helpers to look for.

Have you looked to see if any of her relatives are in trees on here?

Their grief would be in part alleviated by the ordination to the priesthood of his nephew Jim a bare few weeks after Hugh’s death. Hugh will appreciate the continuity in Church and Family.

Could Jim be under another surname ie Hugh's sister son ???
