hello kind people! If anyone has access to the 1851 census i was wondering if you could do some checking for me? My gg(G?) grandparents married in middle parish paisley in 1853.
John McLennan was listed as living at 16 Old Sneddon and Agnes Boag gave her address as 56 Caledonia Street. Could someone look and see if either was there in 1851, and also if other people with the same surnames were living with them? John was listed as a joiner.
Thanks heaps Nettiemac - who is always willing to do australian lookups in exchange!

I note from the message about the 1851 census that there was an Agnes Boag aged 40. I have an Agnes Boag born 15 April 1810 in Uphall, West Lothian, Scotland and wonder if there is any connection with your Boags?
