Risk Ancestry Glasgow Scotland

This morning, I visited Glasgow's Southern Necropolis (near to the Gorbals) and took a video clip of a memorial to Christina Risk and her four children. The latter all dying at relatively young ages although not untypical of that period when Glasgow was experiencing a population boom and was rife with disease and poor sanitation.
