Looking for info on family o grandfather's older brother - John Law Spiers - born 1869 (policeman in Glasgow,Scotland) and his wife Mary Weldon (probably born Ireland). I have list of names of his family (see below) but can't trace most marriages, descendents or any emigration info for:
Elizabeth Spiers born 1896
Robert Spiers born 1897
Catherine Spiers born 1898 married John McMillan
John Weldon Spiers born 1902 married Agnes McPhee
William Law Spiers born 1903
Mary Anne Spiers born 1905
Can anyone help with more info?

This could be him on the 1901 census available to view on SP
1901 SPIERS JOHN MALE 29YRS LIVING AT SHETTLESTON GLASGOW CITY/LANARK

John Spiers in 1901 census living Shettleston, Glasgow is a retired gold mines manager. Other names and dates in household don't seem to fit either.
Were the family actually living in Scotland in 1901 and what other sources have already been looked at?

Strange ???
The criteria I used on SP was John Spiers age 25-35 with 2nd named Robert
A bit young to retire ???
