Have you tried to English Census for John Downie Snr.  What other information do you have on the family?  Did they continue to stay in Paisley?

From your info this looks like the children in 1881 but with grandparents Tyson it doesn't make sense. :-\

11 Sancel

John Tyson   70 born England
Margaret Tyson   74 born England
John Downie   19 born England, Blacksmith (grandson)
Margaret Downie   17 born Paisley (grandaughter)

I have found this family in 1871. Was John junior a blacksmith?

Regards,
Nel

Thanks for your replies, we have the Downie children with their Grandparents, who are actually Aunt and Uncle of their Mother Jane , (complicated)  in 1871 and 1881 census, Mum lived until 1899 and died in Govan Glasgow. although she didn't live with her children, but son John signed her death Certificate . Dad John Downie has just vanished.   Cannot find any trace after his name on daughter Margaret's Birth Certificate in 1863,  deceased on son John's marriage 1887

Any help or clues would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wondered if anyone going to the Mitchell could check the poor relief records on Jane Downie who died in 1899 for any entries which might show some details on John.!
