Hope someone can clarify this. Re parish numbers that say start 644/1, 644/3 etc. Does the number after the/ designate a time period eg say 1850-1860 for that parish or something else altogether? I thought it meant a district within that parish.
Thanks

Re: Parish numbers
Hi Bertha,
The second part of the number is a sub-district. In your example, 644 represents the City of Glasgow (almost) as a whole; whereas 644/1 and 644/3 are smaller districts within Glasgow. To add to the mix, as the city grew, the amount of sub-districts changed over time, as required. See the following TalkingScot page which hopefully explains that.
