Bridgidmac,
Unless I am misunderstanding, there is a family called McDermid on both 1891 and 1901 census returns.
The head of household was  a cloth lapper called Malcolm b1862 and his son Duncan was born in 1883.
The family did live at Burn Butts but, this is an area of Kenmuir in Old Monkland rather than Cambuslang.

This home would be near to or part of Shettleston,

There are also Military and Australian travel docs for  a man named Malcolm bc 1894  who fits the profile of another son
Both these docs appear to belong to the same man due to  him having the same occupation

Edit:
Military docs also found for Walter McDermid b1897 who fits the 1901 census profile.

Both Malcom and Walter lived at the same address, mother was called Jane/Jeannie.
Walter died in WW1 1916

Thanks Anne

Yes that is the right family

I'd assumed burns butt was cambuslang as several births and marriages or as birth place on census are recorded as at cambuslang
I.m told that tthe areas of old monkland overlap s cambuslang

Great grandm a jean Kyle b1863 was  from cambuslang her father Andrew Ramsey Kyle born there at silverbacks in 1832

Sometimes Mac spelling sometimes macdermid

Andrew Macdermid lived at Dean's at Cambuslang from at least 1907 address given by siblings when they emigrated to usa

Given as address at his death 1964. He married a Elizabeth mcdiarmid so that spelling may be on some graves in the region

Another brother Malcolm d1966 was married there in 1921 but later went to australia

Their grandfather was also called duncan born about 1830 married  and there was a duncan born to eldest son in 1905

I have posted the search for the macdermid siblings on usa board too

But i.d like to know about more about the two who  did stay in Scotland and their ancestors and descendants
Duncan died 1910 aged 27  Carmyl address
Informant brother Andrew registration at baillston

Andrew Kyle macdermid died 1964 aged 73 Cambuslang informant was mcdiarmid intimate friend probably an in law

their father Malcolm the cloth lapper had died in 1910 old monkland just after birth of his 10th child

 i.hadn't thought to try and find extra  information from graves til I saw this post .

Thanks for all your help .
