Hi
I am trying to find information on my mother-in-laws Biological mother. I have included the details below, hope you can follow them.
Margaret Galbraith Docherty was born On the 3rd March 1912 at Glasgow maternity hospital. Margaret was put in the care of The Good Shepherd convent, Glasgow, it is not known what date Margaret went into the convent. Margarets biological mother was Margaret Docherty who was a domestic servant she lived at 284 Bath Street, Glasgow in 1912. (information gained from Birth certificate). Ms E MacGillivray (Archivist) kindly completed a search of the Post Office Directories of Glasgow 1912 and found a Miss Galbraith listed at that address. Also the voters role 1920 was checked and a Margaret Galbriath was still living at 284 Bath St. It is confusing because the Mother's name is Docherty on the birth certificate but she called herself Galbraith. Margaret Galbraith Docherty was adopted from the Good Shepard convent in 1915 by a Mrs. Catherine Walker and was brought to live in Preston Lancashire. would be grateful for any help.
It's been suggested that Margaret Docherty could have been the domestic servant to Miss Galbraith?? Because I have no dates for the birth mother it is proving very difficult to gain any information.
Regards
Janet
