Jack
Thanks for the link
I expect to be playing with this site for hours!!
I am going to check with my friend just to be sure that the cul de sac
was definitely Bolton St. She should still have the information from the
Mitchell

Hello Edward & Margaret,

I too had problems locating Bolton St a year or so ago - now can't
remember why i was looking
for it.
I came up with the same cul-de-sac as yourselves as the possible place -
but it had a different
name.
If you go to the following site you'll see it.

From drop-down list select Glasgow [1892-94]
Click on the centre square
Click on VI. 10. 23. (3rd from left bottom row)
Between South Kinning Place & Crookston St, on the N side of Houston St,
is the cul-de-sac.

I'd just presumed that Bolton St had the name changed to Houston Place
sometime before 1892.

Edward
I also had problems trying to place Bolton St. and only found the
location when a friend who was also researching a different family from
Bolton St. enquired at the Mitchell Library.
Bolton St. is not identified on the maps and is the small cul de sac
that you mention.

Can anyone advise me of precisely where this was in the late 19thC
please?

On the 1881 Census it's in ED16 someplace between Houston Street and
Crookston Street, but they are perpendicular to one another, and I can't
find it on the Godfrey maps of c1894.

The only place it might be is a small unmarked cul de sac on the North
side of Houston Street between South Kinning Place and Crookston Street.

Any help greatly appreciated.

TIA
