Districts

[trish1]

Is there a list somewhere of register districts in Scotland? I have been tracing a family that lived in Kinning Park - Glasgow - over many years but after 1906 - Kinning Park seems to disappear from the BMD records. What would have replaced it?

thanks

On ScotlandsPeople there's a "Help with Searching" and under that you can find a list of registration districts.
Someone with more knowledge than me can probably give you a more direct answer!
Best wishes,

Hi Trish,

See http://www.talkingscot.com/rds/city-rds-glas.htm

Somebody who knows Glasgow better than I do could maybe suggest the district(s) that Kinning Park may have become part of from 1907.

All the best,

AndrewP

Thank you for all the links - it seems the districts changed a few times from 1906 to 1965 when they all merged into Glasgow. I've looked at Andrew's list and the list of all RDs post 1855 but cannot find the detail of the changes from 1906. I did, however find via SP help a PDF street index for the 1911 census, which includes RD numbers - (just took quite awhile to download) - so I'll try that against some of the addresses I have from dates before 1906 and should be able to use Andrew's list to check the RD numbers (or something like that!)

I hadn't realized until checking the replies that they all merged to Glasgow in 1965 - that should be the end of my searching - the names are too frequent to search without the district breakdown

thanks again

Trish

Hi Trish,

Do you have any street names?

Some streets came under Pollokshields and some Tradeston or maybe Plantation.

Near the front of Glasgow Post Office Directories there are lists of streets and their Registration District. Here’s the start of 1911-12. http://archive.org/stream/postofficeann ... 2/mode/2up

More here. http://archive.org/search.php?query=gla ... xts&page=1

All the best,

Try under Pollokshields ... I've had this discussion with Scotlands People before and found my Kinning Park lot under Pollokshields

Thanks everyone - I checked a couple of streets against the 1911 census street index & like Annette & Falkyrn came up with Pollokshields. I also found a couple of addresses pointing directly to Plantation - so I'll concentrate on those two districts.

34 Keyden St 644-18 Pollokshields
48 Maclean St 646 Plantation - this one was a bit strange - double checking it was a Govan address from 1881
3 Vermont street 644-18 Pollokshields
