Thomas Laurie's Children

[Alexanderina]

I am looking for any information on the children of a Thomas Laurie and Mary Jane Gibson married in Glasgow on the 20th June 1873.  I would be grateful for a wee push in the right direction.
Thank you

Hello Alexanderina and lindy-lou,

Death entry shows for George Laurie in Calton 1874. He must have died soon after birth.

Have you any details for Thomas or Mary to find them in the 1881 census? They probably had more children between 1875 (when the IGI index stops) and that date.

Thank you for information regarding George Laurie he was my Grandfather but I know nothing of his siblings.I understand he was one of maybe 10 children.
My father never told us about his Aunts or Uncles
I am trying to build family tree so that my children will know about the Laurie family.
Thanks again.
Alexanderina.

Just downloaded the family's 1891 census entry, Dave. Your find has confirmed it's the right family.

Address: 80 Stevenson Street, Glasgow, Lanarkshire
Thomas Lawrie, m, head, 36, shoemaker, b. Glasgow
Mary Jane ", f, wife, 36, -, b. Montrose, Forfarshire
Isabella ", f, dau., 14, cotton mill worker, b. Glasgow
Daniel ", m, son, 11, -, b. Glasgow
Thomas ", m, son, 9, -, b. Glasgow
John ", m, son, 7, -, b. Glasgow
George ", m, son, 5, -, b. Glasgow
Henrietta ", f, dau., 1, -, b. Glasgow

As said before, George b. 1874 died young (the same year) and Alexanderina's grandfather was born c. 1886 with the same name.

I love a challenge, but alas no.
Best I can find is current day photo of remaining tenements - look to me 1890-1900ish.
I've no idea of house number of this block.
Might take a wander to have a look.
