Humphrey family

[grantj]

My family moved at one time from Co.Antrim to Scotland.I believe it was to the Govan area. Please could anyone help me, their names were Adam and Sarah Humphrey and two children, Margaret and Adam. I believe that both Adams may have been in the poor house. Any information would be amazing, especially regarding deaths etc.

Thanks ever so much, would you have any ideas on why both her husband and son were in Govan poorhouse in 1891 and she wasn't? Would you know were she was in 1891?

Have you looked at the image on SP ?(On the index the maiden name could be Humphrey or Gray)
It may not be your Sarah 

The other thing would be to look at the original 1891 Census on SP to see if Adam is married or widowed.

They may have been in the Poor House hospital

This looks like Sarah with a duplicate entry for Adam

There is a marriage for an Adam Humphrey in 1901 Lanark(SP)
If that is your Adam(junior?) it should have his parents names and note if they were deceased or not
