Ardgowan Terrace, Bothwell
I am wondering if anyone knows where this is at all and whether it is a house or a hospital?

Hi pandabean
I've just read your post and wondered about the information you gave, linked to the question you asked. If Ardgowan Terrace is correct, do you have a street number or house name?
I did wonder, since you questionned if it was a house or a hospital, if you had meant to say Ardgowan House.
In either case, I haven't had any success in finding either in Bothwell.
Best wishes

Thanks Catriona for bringing this back up. It is actually 1 Ardgown Terrace.
I still havent found anything on the street. The links is that my great uncles and aunts (McDonalds) were born there around the 1910-1920s yet from what Jack found another family of McDonalds also had a child there several months before. Those McDonalds were unrelated. For about 10 years at most they had a dozen or so kids (big family) at this address.

Hi Andy
I was just thinking, it would be perfectly possible to have four, sometimes more, families living at the same numerical address. The size of the family may be relevant now but it was much less so then.
In Kilbarchan there are still common entries where there are 4 quite separate households. Back when they were built they were weavers' houses and they had to fit in a loom either in one of the two rooms or in a weaving shed in the back garden.
In my own childhood (early 1940's) a friend was one of 15 children in a mining village. The largest local authority house had only three bedrooms but they all squeezed into the house without problems and were happy to have a new house away from the two roomed house they lived in previously.
Spoiled we are nowadays

Hi Andy,
I just had a wee look on Multimap and found an Ardgowan Drive in Uddingston (North Lanarkshire, G71). I know on that Armadale Road, just round the corner, there are some older terraced houses. Uddingston came under the umbrella of Bothwell Parish, it's only two minutes from Bothwell in any case
I'm thinking that maybe Ardgowan Terrace might have been the name of the block of houses but it wasn't actually a street address if you know what I mean?
