I suggest "syncone" is "syncope".

Don't know about anabed / anbabes, though.

EDIT:

OK, I've used some credits and had a look.

I think "anababes" is "probably"

Thanks again ArgyllGran!!

Had another look myself and you are correct in saying 'Probably Syncope' as cause of death.

The writing isn't wonderful, but you did it. Thanks for taking a look for me.

Googled 'Syncope' and is described as 'fainting / loss of consciousness, caused by possible low blood pressure', etc..

(thought I added this earlier, but not seeing!)

Looking for 196 Nithsdale Road, I found this


details for Glengowan House, 196 Nithsdale Road, Glasgow G41 5EU
Detached house 10+ Beds, 7 Baths, 4 Receps - Edit
Zoopla Estimate: £736,000

Do you think it may have been a small private nursing home of sorts when your ancestor died there?


From memory, I was think that there are some pretty large detached houses in parts of Nithsdale Road.

Glasgow, Glengowan House, 196 Nithsdale Road
Diocese: Glasgow
Description: 1880-90
Listing category: C(S)

Another Google search result (website name: novaloca.com) includes the words,
"Most recently operated as a charitable residential care home" - although when you open the link it just says, "Sorry, this property is no longer available."


EDIT:

Perhaps more recently, a less savoury history - can't find the rest of this Google search result when I open the link:

(presuming the Marriage for Adam Broomfield, Mary Anderson in Scotland?...

Below looks to be for first Daughter...

Births Mar 1875 (>99%)

Broomfield Margaret Newcastle T. 10b 22


26 January 1875 - Berwickshire News and General Advertiser - Berwick

Birth
At Newcastle-on-Tvne, on the 17th inst., the wife of Adam Broomfield, railway porter, of a daughter.

Marriage:

BROOMFIELD
ADAM
ANDERSON
MARY

Langton [Berwickshire]

(thankyou AG, thought that would be the case, lol)

Chris :)

As 1911 says she was born in Bunkle, this will probably be her birth:

ANDERSON
MARY
WILLIAM ANDERSON/MARGARET SPARK FR475 (FR475)
F
25/01/1847

It seems the most likely of the four Mary Anderson births in Berwickshire 1846-48


And probably her death:

Deaths Mar 1922 (>99%)
Broomfield Mary 74 Gateshead 10a 1443

A big thank you to all who have helped me with this side of the family.

Thanks Chris for the various census, ArgyllGran & Rootsgatherer too.

I have look at ScotlandsPeople and have found that Adam's mother is called Alison, not Alice, but she may have been called this instead.

Mary Anderson - Adam's wife was daughter of William Anderson & Margaret Sparks, so ArgyllGran, you was right on this one!!

The information on 196, Nithsdale Road is invaluable - thanks for that.

As for Siblings of Elizabeth Broomfield, this is what is happening:-

Margaret 1875 - 1942, never married, Elizabeth 1877 - 1922 married Charles Grigson Alexander, Adam 1879 - 1880 died young, Mary Jane 1881 - 1949 Neve married and finally William 1885 - 1917, married Ida May Dewing (1883 - 1978) in 1912, had daughter - Kathleen 1914 - 1917!

So apart from William having a child, who died very young, I don't know if Charles' 2 daughters had any children of their own. If not, then this line comes to a stop right here.

As Charles Alexander is step-brother to my great grandfather, and not my direct ancestor, I am extremely glad to have found him, his wife and his 2 daughters after many, many years, I can, I feel, put him to rest now.

Unless, of course, anyone can find anything else...........??

Thanks!!

From the 1940's, and at least until 1962, Doris and her husband were living at 40 Largie Road in the Cathcart area of Glasgow.

Their surname is too common to be able to tell if any of the births in Glasgow after 1940 are their children or not, without buying certs.

A boy with first names Leslie Alexander was born 1940 in Cathcart - maybe worth a punt?

Always worth a check in 'Search All Member Trees' (Top right of page here, under 'Search') to see if any other GR Members share names...

Another source often useful, Wills...

Chris :)

Have just ordered birth certificate for Leslie Alexander Drummond !! Should arrive next few days or so.

The waiting has begun........ !!

Have just heard from ScotlandsPeople that the certificate I ordered for Leslie Alexander Drummond das been despatched !!

Should receive it in next couple days or so, depending on Royal Mail snail post....

Will keep you posted with info when I get it.

Oops - Leslie wasn't Doris's son after all.
Sorry to have raised your hopes and encouraged you to spend money on the birth cert, Marcus. It didn't occur to me to look for his death until now.

Leslie's death:

DRUMMOND
LESLIE ALEXANDER
56
mms ROBERTSON
1997
800/ 18
West Linton

Wondering if there was a Will for below...(they often hold clues!)

(from other 'Thread', reference)

Death:
CHARLES GRIGSON ALEXANDER
Age: 78
Year of Death: 1955
Ref: 644/18 1154
RD Name: Pollok
-----------------------------------

Thanks ArgyllGran, I just saw the death entry the other day myself !!
I decided to buy the certificate because I thought it was the right entry. Please don't feel that you raised my hopes at all.

These things are all part of learning to find what is correct or not ! I took the decision to buy.

With further research, I am sure there will be a connection somewhere along the name.

So, here is the info on the certificate :-

Leslie Alexander Drummond, b 2nd November, 1940, at 73, Millborne Road, Glasgow.

Parents are - Donald Gunn Drummond, Yarn Merchant's Cashier, (Usual residence - 93, Battle Field Avenue, Glasgow),
& Catherine Burns Drummond M.S. Robertson. (Married 19th August, 1933, Blythswood, Glasgow).
(Father registered the birth on 14th August, 1940).

Plot thickens...........
