Talk:Govan

message: Generally (by which I mean in most sources) thought of as a former part of Lanarkshire, but I have evidence that a small part of Govan was in Renfrewshire. Can anybody elaborate here, and then perhaps in the article? --Jza84 |  Talk   01:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this external list, the parish is properly in Lanarkshire (every reference to Govan is there, and none connect it with Renfrewshire). However, I think that the issue has been historically contentious. See the pages before and after this 1890 reference, especially section 6 starting on page 530, which directly addresses your question. Regards, Notuncurious (talk) 00:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Also, the top three gazetteers from this this list are probably good references to read and use, as are both the Old and New Statistical Accounts. Regards, Notuncurious (talk) 00:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! I suspected Govan may have been in Renfrewshire until it joined Glasgow in 1912. Glasgow was associated with Lanarkshire, which I why I thought Govan may have been considered part of Lanarkshire from thereon. I'll put something together though. Thanks again, --Jza84 |  Talk   14:00, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Added a  referenced paragraph on the topic, plus a map. It's out-of-sync with the rest of the text, and probably can be shortened so it doesn't have undue prominence. Improvements on this addition would be welcome. Regards, Notuncurious (talk) 22:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
