My aunt Mary lived in Ladyburn Buildings and I lived across the street at 7 Port Glasgow Rd in the late 50's early 60's. Only attended Ladyburn school for a year before the family moved to Gourock. The buildings seemed giant when I was wee and full of life - sadly the area is pretty lifeless these days and waiting to be redeveloped.

Thank you so much for your helpful response.

All the children mentioned in the 1891 census were recorded as being born in Port Glasgow. Patrick, James, Mary, John, Joseph and Maggie. The dates of birth for Partick and James match the information you provided. Although I haven't yet been able to find birth certificates for the 2 boys I did manage to find one for Sarah in 1872 registered in Greenock rather than Port Glasgow. Sadly it appears that she died at a young age. The certificate shows that John and Catherine both Catholic, married in Port Glasgow in 1869 but I can find no trace of them on Scotlands People as yet.

Once again very many thanks for your kind assistance and advice
