How do I find an address in a Glasgow valuation roll?

For the period 1913-1989, Glasgow valuation rolls survive at the National Records of Scotland; at Glasgow City Archives; and at the History and Glasgow Room of the Mitchell Library in Glasgow. Valuation rolls for this period are arranged by ward, but every few years there were changes to the boundaries and numbering of wards. You need to consult a street index to find out which ward a street was in at any given year. Glasgow City Archives have street indexes for the period 1913-1995. The National Records of Scotland have a street index for 1875. For the period 1855 – 1912 valuation rolls for Glasgow survive only at the National Records of Scotland. The Glasgow rolls are divided into volumes for Glasgow Burgh, Glasgow Barony, Govan Parish and Gorbals Barony. There is an index of streets compiled from the 1875 valuation roll, which tells you which of the volumes a street is in, but the index is not entirely accurate for the period after 1878, because of boundary changes involving Glasgow burgh. Glasgow City Archives have a database index of owners and occupiers from valuation rolls for 1861, 1881 and 1891. For further details contact Glasgow City Archives.
