It's in Renfrewshire but not Glasgow as Glasgow is in Lanarkshire

Jim, have you looked at www.archive.org ?
there are quite a few Renfrewshire directories available on this site and some specifically for Greenock and Port Glasgow.   (19th century)
As Ann pointed out, Glasgow is not in Renfrewshire, but Port Glasgow is - just to confuse all us non-Scots!

Nice little mini history here : http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/greenock/greenock/index.html
