My 3x Great Grand mother, Charlotte FLETCHER (nee SMITH) died in 1856 at 5, St John's Place Glasgow. The death reg says it is off **** John Street. (Maybe East). I cannot find any road of this name and as I am visiting Glasgow would like to know where it was.
In the 1851 census she lived at 7 Calton Entry and the rest of her family where the 10 years later. Was 5 St John's place a hospital?? or a relative ?? Perhaps some one could look it up in a census (51 or 61) for me.
Her husband remarried but had no more Children that I can find. He died 1864 22nd October at 9 Calton Entry. I have the registration document, but would like some idea of where he might be buried. His wife was buried in Glasgow Necropolis.
Thanks in anticipation Lynne

There is another road I can't find.......... Craignestock St Terry's family post mentioned something similar, but I can't find it on current maps. The link from Pattern walsh does not mention it either. Please help.

Go to https://gridreferencefinder.com/gmap.php#
and put in
Latitude 55.851523N
Longitude 4.232466W
Select Satellite view and zoom in, it seems to be a side road that only partially exists now.

There is a map showing the location of Calton / Black Fauld here:
https://parkheadhistory.
com/?page_id=2307
Scroll down the page a bit and there's a photo of Calton Entry.

Lowering the tone somewhat, put Craignestock in the "Quick Search" box on this page and you'll see a fine photo of "The public urinal in Craignestock Street". Click on the photo to enlarge it (honestly it's actually a very good photo of the street).

theglasgowstory.com/index.php
Later: Put CALTON in the Quick Search box of the same page and there are quite a number of photos relating to Calton.Last edited by malcolm99; 03-02-2013 at 6:30 PM. Reason: added end bit

ha. I knew there was a reason they needed a pipe factory. It's for all those urinals

I’ve found a map.
Go to>
https://maps.
nls.uk/towns/detail.cfm?id=2660
Craignestock Street
1. Click on the map image
2. Use the + sign to zoom in until you can easily see GLASGOW GREEN on the north side of the Clyde just to the right of the city centre.
3. Zoom in on the “Glasgow” bit of “Glasgow Green” and you’ll see Monteith Row
4. At the bottom of Monteith Row you’ll see Binnie Place. Craignestock Street is just to the right of where it says “Ind. Ch.” (it’s between Green Street and Tobago Street).
N.B. Be patient - a very sharp image of the map will appear but it takes a few seconds

Calton Entry
1. On the same map go to Monteith Row again but go the other way up (north west) to the junction with St Mungo Street.
2. Go to Gallowgate at the end of St Mungo Street
3. Turn right into Gallowgate and the 1st street on the right is Kent Street. The next ‘street’ is unnamed but is clearly shown as a crescent road running down into Moncur Street. That is Calton Entry.
