We seem to have the same names in our trees although some of the data is conflicting. Can you check the dates of birth etc for John McPhee and Elizabeth Montgomery as their offspring Arthur and Robert were born in 1820 and 1828 as far as I can see. Also can you let me know where you got the details of the marriage which seems to have taken place in Australia.Do you have anything before John and Elizabeth.My grandmother was one of the 9 children to Robert Mcphee and Marion Porteous (Elizabeth)

There were 2.  The one with the wrong date for John McPhee and Elizabeth Montgomery was a tree owned by Matthewboucher1.  The one that appears to be pretty complete was owned by Fiona2306.  The easiest way to find them is to hit family trees and then type either Robert McPhee or Arthur McPhee.  Which one are you related to?  I hope this helps.

Probably, I related to Arthur McPhee.  There is a lot of information in that tree.  It was very helpful.  I am planning to contact Fiona2306 with some information I have once I get it in family tree form

Well worth a check to see if any family members ever applied for Poor Relief.

Where the detailed reports of the Poor Relief Inspector survive they can often give a mini life history, including detailed info on the place of birth, as well as the names of parents, even sometimes names of the families of children and occupations, all of course to establish the extent to which famly members could/should to be able to support the applicant.

These records survive, mostly, for Glasgow.  I believe that there are surviving records for Paisley, but I have no experience of the content.  Greenock's records, I think, were destroyed by enemy action during WWII.

And there are surviving records in many other places in Scotland.

For someone from Ireland, these records can often be the only place where the exact origin, down to the level of the townland, can be found.

There was no shame involved in applying for Poor Relief, - think of it being the equivalent of many State benefits available today.
