Annals of Glasgow

Post by rlyon » Tue Jun 16, 2009 10:13 am

While attempting to identify some ancestors I found the following book very helpful.

Annals of Glasgow: comprising an account of the public buildings, charities, and the rise and progress of the city
By James Cleland

The full text of volume 1 may be viewed or downloaded at: http://books.google.com/books?id=u28CAAAAMAAJ

Some of the interesting items are:
  • List of Provosts and Baillies (1472-1815), see page 158.
    List of the Dean of Guilds (1604-1815), see page 182.
    List of the Conveners of Trades House (1604-1815), see page 185.
    List of Treasurers (1604-1815), see page 190.
Regards ...
