Ann Bowes Ancestry Tour Glasgow

This evening I am posting an image of a grave-marker from Glasgow's Southern Necropolis. This includes inter alia a record of Ann .owse, the surname being partly obliterated by weathering.

Following some detective work by Brian Thomson of Scotsfamily we have ascertained that the person concerned is Ann Bowse, mother of Alexander Mathieson, the latter being a master butcher who died at Ninth Street Anderston, Glasgow on 10th November 1879. Alexander was married to an Elizabeth Stewart.
