Thanks Alan

I will look into these - although to my knowledge they didn't have a Glasgow connection - but who knows ?

No wonder we get so confused about our ancestors ages even the Registrar had no way of being accurate on their ages.
I am always blaming my ancestors for these inaccuracies.
Any lady would be delighted if the Registrar knocked a few years of their age! Maybe we have a lot of burecracy these days but at least it allows us to track our vital statistics more easilly.
