John Glass 1842-1917	Margaret Campbell 1852-1917

I think the above photos are John Glass and Margaret Campbell they were found in an envelope along with the birth cert for Alfred George Douglas Glass (my father) and his grandmothers Margret Glass nee Campbell death cert.

My father thought John Glass apprenticed as a baker in Edinburgh and emigrated about 1861 age 19, but his sisters are working in a bakery in Glasgow in the 1881 census.
