Ooh - thanks.
*claps hands in appreciation* I hadn't found him in 1891, so had killed him off too early. Googled Napier House - it was a lodging house for seamen whose ships were berthed on the Clyde or under repair in Govan dry docks. It was built between 1897 and 1899 to provide 'model' high-quality lodgings. But...he was a miner not a seaman. I did notice some of the other people listed on the same entry were recorded as being in the Poor House.
