[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

John and Mathew but not sure it's the right John. Naming pattern only half fits. Three daughters but no Martha for father's mother.

It is the right death for Sarah. I have a copy. John listed as a hand loom weaver although he gave that up long before.

1871 looks a fairly reliable census for the family at that time

If John moved away between 1871-1881, the 1881 census in post #2 looks good for PoB, occ and close for age..

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I think 1881 fits.

It's that day again. My turn to cook so I'll have to catch you later Geoff.

Dave

 

[horse]

OK, Dave... I may go meself soon.

Geoff

I just checked one birth. Extracted batch does not agree with SP.

Yeah, one or two anomalies with this family, doesn't help

Just rechecked the Directories by street name, in 1881/2, 8 Mathieson Road is occupied by a Dunlop, occ = baker. Unless they are multi-occupied businesses, there still isn't a 'Houston' registered there.

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Also the extracted dates are listed as birth dates yet the dates agree with SP which usually puts baptism dates in the index.

They might be baptism dates.

[DaveHam9]

No Matthew Houston b. 1858 - 1862 in 1881 on FS.

There is one born Renfrew 1863 in Blackfriars, Lanark in 1881.

2x deaths after 1901 born 1860 +/- 2 but only one in 1881.
