Hi There,
Many Thanks for that information that is the right family,
i had got them on a later census but your information helps prove they had moved to glasgow much earlier than i had thought,
i have not had the time to go through the records in glasgow but i shall have to try get there it seams there is a lot to gain.
Kind Regards Brenda
Have a very merry xmas :D
