Don't think it's Camelon Street Paul. That's in Carntyne so wrong registration district.

On second thoughts, the John Docherty with Helen on the ERs in 1915 -20 could be the son John, and not the father.
I suspect the 1912 death is correct for John senior - but the only way to be sure would be to look at the death cert..

Just as a matter of interest, Cameron Street seems to no longer exist in that area. (There is one still on the Southside). I don't see the Maryhill one on the list of renamed streets. It may have been lost during the City slum clearance programme.

One of these is probably Mary's mother's death - most likely the Kelvin one.

That still happens today, Dea.


Paul -
you say "I cannot find her birth with these parents details."
Have you looked at many birth certs on SP? (6 credits per view; purchase min 30 credits for £7.50)

This is Mary & Thomas's marriage - in Milton:

DOCHERTY
MARY
DEVINE
THOMAS
1906
644/8 17
Milton



So maybe (just maybe) this is her birth -

DOCHERTY
MARY
F
1886
644/8 1385
Milton

Or, if she was born Campbell, there are these possibilities (assuming no middle name):

CAMPBELL
MARY
F
1885
644/8 292
Milton


CAMPBELL
MARY
F
1885

That's the one I have been looking at - but I found who I think is him and he seems to have joined the Highland Light Infantry in 1883 and stayed with them for several years.

I have also found this 'Campbell' family living in Burnrow in 1891 (the address for Helen + John later that year was also 'Burn Row' - I cannot yet connect them to Helen though.

That's interesting about retaining the maiden name after marriage Rootgatherer. - I knew that women were often recorded under their maiden names on census's but I didn't realise the two names were used together like that.
