Well done to both of you. These things niggle away especially when you can't make out the name. This was obviously the last place where he lived before he died. Strange to think his son James moved to Ireland then came back to settle in Clydebank and my mother although she married my father from the Gorbals now lives in Scotstoun not far from where he lived then died.
Thanks again,

Re: Death cert 1856 address
Hello Ailsa,
Most of the references to Downie Place, Partick, in the 19C newspapers are in connection with a Baker by name of Walter Hubbard who lived or had a business there from at least 1854 to 1895. In the Glasgow Herald, Tuesday, March 30, 1875, there’s a report of a Vanman named George M’Farlane, in the employ of Hubbard the baker, being injured in an accident. This is the baker http://books.google.com.au/books?id=NO8 ... 22&f=false He was taken home to his house in Wilson Street. I think I saw somewhere you had a baker somewhere. Could this fellow have a connection to your lot?
All the best,
Alan

Re: Death cert 1856 address
Hi Alan,
You are right there were bakers mentioned in the 1861 census - Dougall McFarlane age 13 apprentice baker - but alas no George McFarlane in the family that i have managed to trace. This is not to say there wasn't one!
Also his brother James appears on the 1861 census living at his sister Isabel Thomson in Knowe St Partick and is also an apprentice baker.
Looking back over my notes you kindly found some info Jan 2009 re an article in the Glasgow Herald between 1860 - 1866 about a wanted ad by Mrs McFarlane baker initially at Peel St and later at Hamilton Place Partick. Following on, you say there are various things for a John McFarlane baker until the end of the century.
Margaret McFarlane was shown as married to John Stokes or Stoker on the 1861 census in Clyde St he was a grocer - after then the trail dies until my James McFarlane has married in Belfast in 1871 (as shown on the last child's birth cert thankfully ) Jane McFarlane born 6/8/1882 who was born - you guessed it in Centre St Partick. Maybe the family connection was still in Partick otherwise why come back there? I can trace them from thereon but the gap between 1861 and 1882 is still a mystery where the whole family went and why.
Thanks for the interest,
Ailsa
