Elizabeth, Can you please give us the addresses where they usually lived (it will be on the death certificate) as we may then be able to suggest cemeteries in that area of Glasgow.

The Mitchell Library holds records for some of the Glasgow Cemeteries and as you have death dates you would be able to search these.

Elizabeth,
This is the link to The Glasgow Herald online.
(All editions Jan 1809- Feb 1990 )

The daily editions can only be viewed in full ( no article search facility) but you could look at each edition for the days following the deaths to check for a death announcement.

Google for info about cemeteries near to their last address(es).

Contact them to find out if they are able/willing to carry out searches.

............bear in mind that they could have been cremated................
