    Default Glasgow schools and addresses?

    Hi,

    I recently found out that my grandmother lived in Glasgow during the period 1914-16, and I want to know if it's possible for me to find out where she lived and went to school, if possible. Does anybody know how I might go about this?

    They were protestant, but sadly I have no idea where in Glasgow they would have lived. My great-grandfather recruited for the Royal Navy, that's all I know.

    Hi There, Could we have a name please for you Grandmother as this might help with the search process..If you could supply us with a date of birth or close enough to it that would be a great help..Do you have Grandmas birth cert? Could we also have her parents names.How old would Grandma have been in 1911?

    Hi There Familia Enigma, The reason I asked for your Grandmothers details such as a birth year if known was to see if we could trace her in 1911..If she started school in 1914-1916 she may have attended a school very close to where her family was living at the time..

    Hi,

    She was born on the south coast of England in 1908, so unfortunately that wouldn't work. Her maiden name was Drown and I know her father worked in the Glasgow from 1914-1918 at least. Her first name was Alice.

    Thanks to all who've replied, incidentally.
