Jane is marked as "daug"(daughter) twice ... David is an apprentice mechanic. Can't make out the address yet, sorry.

Hi
The address is 1 Norfolk Court. The end is quite clear - have seen that form of 'k' many times, very open alomst looking like an H. The N is initially formed in a similar way to capital M's on the page.
Jane's birthplace is Mearns -----------? The second word looks like :
either "Patrick" (intending Partick?)
or "Parish" which has been written over the top of another word that was started but not finished.
I am inclined to think the latter - ie: Parish . The end looks like "rish" written elsewhere (and the end does not look like a k if comparing to the last letter of the address).
Mearns is a Parish in Renfrew, containing the village of Newton Mearns (ref: Genuki)

Just to add....
John the head of the family: his pob is written as Abbey Parish - the top of the y is faded or hasn't copied well, but the tail is there. This is probably Abbey in Renfrew, or Abbey Paisley?
The 4 sons, are written as born in Govan....
