Julie, if you haven't come across this already, this will be useful for you with so many of your family members in Greenock.

It is a great guide to the streets names at the time of the 1901 census: 1901 census street index - Greenock, Gourock and Port Glasgow area, National Records of Scotland www.nrscotland.gov.uk/files/research/census-records/street-indexes/1901/1901-greenock.pdf

Doesn't help at all with finding 'Marlon St' though  Could you post a snip with this section on here?

Thanks Monica but unfortunately, the link won't open. We're away for a few days hiding away from Covid.
However, I followed a link from you on another post to street names and now think it is Moncur Street. I think I've found my Margaret McLean nee Dunning living at 20 Moncur Street which I think may be the address on the death certificate. It states it's a corporation lodging house. She was living at 163 Moncur Street several years previously.
I very much appreciate your help as always Monica.

As Rosie says, we are happy to hear you figured it out 

Re the street names, just google street names of greenock for 1901 census and this link will pop up from the NRS.

     This sad report from both the "Dundee Evening Telegraph" and the "Glasgow Herald" dated Wednesday, 23rd June 1880. "Child Run Over And Killed. Yesterday forenoon in Greenock, while a little boy, aged 3 years, named Henry Bonnar, son of a labourer residing in Highland Close, was "scobbing" sugar from hogsheads which were being transported on a car along Shaw Street, the little fellow stumbled and fell in front of the wheel, which passed over him, death being instantaneous."
     Regards,     Dod.

Thank you, Dod ... now added to my ever-growing list of sugar industry fatalities at  www.mawer.clara.net/fatalities.html

Thanks for that Dod. Poor Henry was the son of the brother of  Rose Ann Dunning's husband Henry Bonner/Bonnar - James Bonner  Labourer and his wife Sarah Bonner maiden name Bonner. I already have his death certificate which states the cause of death was 'killed by cartwheel passing over the head' so this explains what happened in more detail. Their address was 7 Highlands Close.
I had to Google what Hogsheads were and I believe they are the barrels that blocks of sugar were stored in. I gather poor Henry was trying to eat it or pinch it.
