Hughs parents were meant to be john and barbara Clifford. barbara was supposedly from america ,Hugh was meant to have been born Barony Glasgow could someone do a look up in 1991 census I cant find him and wonder if he was born in another country?

Hi Anne

Welcome to RootsChat 

I have merged your two topics together as it helps to keep requests together so that people get a better understanding of the info needed and also what searches have been done so far.

Anne, what do you estimate Hugh's birth year to be? When did he marry Isabella? What his mother Barbara's maiden name from his certificates and father John's occupation?

From the names you give for their children, this 1901 census entry would fit - which is what is confusing me re possible ages for Hugh!

Hugh Clifford 34, checkweigher b. Newarthill, Lanarkshire
Isabella Clifford 32 b. Ireland
William Clifford 12
Samuel Clifford 10
Annie Clifford 8
James Clifford 6
Hugh Clifford 4
John Clifford 22, boarder, Coal Miner Hewer b. Carfin, Lanarkshire

Address: Motherwell Rd 4 Benburl Cott, Holytown

Hi Monica,saw that one.Confused too as that seems to be them but his father is a William.

There are two records of a Barbara Clifford on incoming passenger lists from New York to Glasgow.

First is May 1909 on the California

Second May 1913 on the Cameronia.

However her birth is 1854 so can't be this Hugh's mother

Hi George 

Stuck now for a bit until Anne comes back on!

PS: Struggling to find this 1901 Clifford family in 1891.

I think they are in Stoke-on-Trent Monica.If it is him he is a professional footballer.

Hugh 25 born Lanarkshire
Isabella 23 born Ireland
William 2
Samuel 8 months.

If it is the same Hugh,this is him.
