I wonder if someone with Ancestry could look at the Glasgow Electoral Registers for George McCluskey b 1882.

I have him last on his mothers death certificate in 1940 showing his address as 13, Muir Street , Glasgow.

He was 1st married to Martha McManus in 1921 , she died in 1932.

2nd marriage to Mary Wylie/Sullivan in 1933.
Thank you

What year do you want to know about, Jean?

In 1939 there are a George and Mary McCluskey at 146 Jamieson Street, in the Cathcart area of Glasgow.

McCluskey is one of those names with multiple possibilities of spelling.

Thanks for getting back to me ArgyllGran.
I am trying to find if he had any children born between 1921 and 1932 when his 1st wife Martha died, so anything after 1941 I would think.

I know what you mean about the McCluskey names, they drive me round the twist trying to find them.

On his service records he is shown as Macluskie.

I don't know which area Muir Street would come under

Here are George and Mary (surname mistranscribed as well as different spelling) at 14 Muir Street in 1945. No other McLuskeys of any spelling at that address.

That Muir Street is in the Springburn area.

in the Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, Electoral Registers, 1857-1962
Name: George McLuskev
Residence Year: 1945
Residence Place: Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Parliamentary Division: Glasgow

Thank you ArgyllGran,

Perhaps George and Martha never had children, and thanks for showing me the area of Muir Street, I might go and see if I can find deaths for him or Mary in the Springburn district.

There are six pages of George McLuskeys on Glasgow ER's, of all varieties of spelling and mistranscription, from the 1920's onwards - Ancestry gives results from all years, no matter what's specified in the search.

Do you know when George died, to narrow the search a bit? (Oh no, I see you don't)
Or Mary?

Trouble is, it's impossible to know the relationship between the family members listed in any ER record.
A woman listed with a George could be either a wife or an adult daughter.

These are all the George M*lusk* deaths in Glasgow 1940-80.

None of them look like your George, unless the informant got his age wrong:

MCCLUSKEY GEORGE 79 1967 644/2 695 Glasgow


MCCLUSKEY GEORGE TROY 39 1959 644/10 592 Govan


MCCLUSKEY GEORGE 46 1947 644/5 48 Springburn


MCCLUSKEY GEORGE 74 1974 623/ 105 Glasgow, Park Circus


MCCLUSKEY GERARD GEORGE 69 1980 615/ 738 Glasgow, Martha St


MCLUSKIE GEORGE 41 1967 645/3 680 Glasgow

Thanks again for this ,
I have so many McCluskeys with different spellings and I don't think I have found half of them yet, mostly they are Henry's and John's .
I thought with a George it might be easier but it's not.

Just checked his 2nd marriage in 1933, his address then was 13, Carntyne Road, Glasgow
