Also the 1841 census for Scotland rounds down all ages to either ?5 or ?0 except for children up to the age of 15. The actual 1841 census will only tell you if they were born in census county or not.

Liz,
Thank you for all those details.
What or where is St John?
Are there 1850's Glasgow directories that can provide street addresses, given a name?
