According to the 1881 st Rollox census, son William is aged 17, born in Wales, and Alfred is aged 10, born in England, but he was actually 14.

I can't see a birth reg. for William.

It is all a bit complicated  ;D

I have 6 floating spare credits, what would you like me to look up as a priority.

The CARRIGAN/CAMPBELL marriage in 1877?  I think there is enough circumstantial evidence for it to be the correct person.

.... her only registered occupation I've found is a Calender Worker....

William's birth shows her occupation as 'Calenderer's folder'.  In 1881 she is probably the Margaret CARIGAN, aged 21, born Glasgow, Sewer & Folder Calanderer, also boarding at 5 Towers Street, Kinning Park.  This is from a transcription only and doesn't give her marital status. I think you need to be a bit flexible with her year of birth.

Have you not looked at the original 1891 census?  Maggie CARRIGAN, Charles and the children are in their own section of the census record.  Maggie is the mother of the two ROBERTSON boys and likely Catherine CARRIGAN as well, but obviously can't be the mother of Charles.

How do you know his father was John Brady?

The register of soldiers' effects names his father as John.

I think this couple are the parents of Mary DOWDING.  In 1851 Mary and her brother Benjamin are with John and Ann EVANS.
