Lamont's from Scotland

Can't easily see anything for John Lamont with those parents in Renfrewshire in 1901. There are some entries but not in that county.
There is however a death showing for an Agnes Cathcart/Lamont in 1928, b. 1862, in Gourock Renfrewshire which you could follow up on.
If John Lamont was of Irish decent, he may not have come over to Scotland until after the 1901 census, I say that also because I cannot easily see a marriage for parents on Scotlands People with those names.

Monica,
  Thanks for that, I grew up thinking that my grandmother came from Ireland then my uncle told me she came from Scotland so that might be where the Ireland part comes into it.
  Her Grandfather might have been Irish.
 I now will start to look into that, thanks again for your help.

  Thanks.

Following up on the Agnes Lamont/Cathcart death Monica found, here are the details:

Agnes Bridget Lamont, widow of John Lamont, labourer, 66
d. Jan 2nd 1928 at 14 Inverkip Road, Greenock
parents - John Cathcart, labourer (dec.) and Mary Cathcart m.s. -- (also dec.)
cause of death - cerebral haemorrhage
registered by William Lamont, son, 41 ? Street, Greenock

Only possible I can see in 1901 - age at marriage was 25, so born about 1884. Here 18, so c. 1883. Matches up pretty well.

Address: 6 Laird Street, Greenock, Renfrewshire
Agnes Lamont, f, head, 38, -, b. Ireland
John ", m, son, 18, gaswork labourer, b. Ireland
William ", m, son, 6, scholar, b. Greenock

Will try and find William's birth to confirm.

Can't see William's birth, but he is registered under William Cathcart/Catchcart Lamont on marriage and death. He married Bridget Ferrie in 1920 and died 1972 aged 76 (born c. 1896) in Greenock. Marriage cert. confirms parents' names.

Hi Hume,
 Thank you for the information,the worst of this is that every family keeps giving the children the same names.
Now if i have it right.
 John Lamont married Agnes Cathcart their children
were John 18 and younger son William 6.
 Is that right.
Why I ask is John 18 would be my great grandfather who married Elizabeth,they also had a John and William.Their sister
Margaret is my grandmother.
Would you be able to find out for me where John 18 died please. I just know its suppose to be Greenock.
So this clears a few things we were arguing about family here not long ago about where we started and i kept saying Ireland so I will have to tell my uncle i was right.
 Thank you Hume for all your help,you and Monica are treasures.

Have searched and searched for a possible death for John and nothing likely is appearing. Do you know if George (b. 1920) was definitely John's son? And what the last known addresses of Elizabeth and children were before they went to Australia?

Few war and service returns' deaths on SP ... maybe killed in action during the First World War?

Hume,
 We are not sure, not even his son is sure.
George's son also called John Lamont was 18months old when his father died in WW2. and he does not know much about him or the family.
 This family of mine was not real close and I am trying to fix that.
 Yes i thought of that to and have tried to get the records if any, but i did not try SP but i will.
  Thank you so very much i have more now than i did.
