Hi, would you have his parents' names from his marriage certificate to Amy Doney Thomson? Also, do you know if he was ever in the service especially during WW1? Kim

Hi, I found the parents John & Rose in the 1901 census;
1901 Scotland census:
240 High Street, Linlithgow, West Lothian
John McTague age:36 born:1865 Rumford, Stirling occ: stone quarryman
Rose Ann McTague age:37 born: 1864 Linlithgow wife
Catherine McTague age:6 born: 1895 Linlithgow daughter
John McTague age:11 born: 1890 Linlithgow son
James McTague age:1 month born: 1901 Linlithgow son
** In the 1891 census John says he is born in Polmont, Stirling and at that time John & Rose only had 1 child listed Elizabeth age 10 months born in 1890.
I cannot find Hugh anywhere in the 1891 nor 1901 census.
I wonder is there any way that Hugh could be much older than you think???
In the 1881 census, there are 2 Hughs that are interesting.
Hugh McTague age:17 born:1864 Dumbarton living in Paisley, Renfrewshire with his parents John & Catherine
Hugh McTague age:14 born:1867 Muiravonside, Stirling living at #8 Rumford Village, Stirling with his grandparents John & Anne and brothers John (16) & William (10).
Could either of these Hughs be a possibility?? I wonder if Hugh may be a son from his father's previous marriage or could perhaps the grandmother's name be (Rose)Anne? Especially as father John says he was born in Rumford, Stirling and Hugh is there with grandparents.
Do you have any info from Hugh's marriage or death cert that may give more info?? Kim
