The cause of death was heart disease (three years).
It would be interesting to know who was paying for his care in Western Infirmary and how Isabella managed to be in Glasgow to report the death to the Registrar the next day.There is some confusion in the 1891 census. Mary, who was born in Scotland and was one year old in the census ten years previously, is now recorded as being born in England and nine years old. A son, Peter had been born some seven years before, apparently in England.
