William Mankin

(1867-1929)

William Mankin was born about 1867 in Picton, Yorkshire, England, and died 14 February 1929 in ? Gas Works Glasgow. He married Annie Morrison 1889 in Glasgow, daughter of John Morrison and Agnes Stewart. She was born about 1867 in England, and died 17 October 1936 the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow.

William and Annie were both born in England. Annie was living in Glasgow when they married and William resided in Stockton. Obviously he went to Glasgow to marry Annie. Their first child was born in England but then they moved back to Glasgow and it looks as though she had siblings there. See census.

William died from an injury to the head and died at the gas works. (The actual writing is unclear and looks like it begins with a 'D' and may be two or three words before Gas Works) It sounds as thought there had been an accident there. He lived at 3 Walker Court, Stockton in 1871 and then 1 Simpson St, Thornaby, York, England. In 1889 he was an Iron Worker (Journeyman); in 1899 a general labourer and in 1919 a Gas Works Labourer. When he married his residence was given as 57 York Street, South Stockton and when he died he lived at 653 Maryhill Road, Glasgow. Annie was a domestic servant and lived at 7 Belfast Street, Maryhill. The family were at 7 Agnes Street, Maryhill before moving to 79 Gairbraid Street and then number 653. From all the other information it would seem that William was actually a fitter and turner for the Gas Works.

Maud Mary Cowan Mankin was born 22 March 1905 at 79 Gairbraid Street, Maryhill, Glasgow(I wonder if this is a reference to the Cowan which appears as a middle name to one of the Dalrymples?)

Family Tree

Children

If there is any other information, regarding any of the children, then these children will appear on this navigation bar.

Because of this Mankin family it is now my firm belief that the Mankin family actually knew the Crawford family who lived at Maryhill before my grand parents actually married and created the connection. See the Crawford Web Site.

I have also been told that a Maggie Mankin worked at Patons Mill in Tillicoultry in about 1940. She is thought to have lived in Alva. If so then she must be a descendant of this Maryhill family group. Watch this space!
