Elizabeth Wells "Birth 8 Jul 1861 Shotts, Lanarkshire, Scotland" ?

Looking for the family in 1871, thanks.

This is the only family which fits but place of birth is dubious

2 Parkside, Shotts, Calderhead, Lanarkshire
William Wells 55 Hawker Ireland
Margaret Wells wife 53 Ireland
Samuel Wells son 20 Coalminer Ireland
William Wells son 16 Coalminer Ireland
Mary Wells dau 14 Ireland
Elizabeth Wells dau 11 Ireland.

The only one of the family I can find in 1881 is Samuel He is married and has a daughter named Margaret Duke Wells. He is still down as born Ireland.

It seems the tree that had "Elizabeth Wells "Birth 8 Jul 1861 Shotts, Lanarkshire, Scotland" is wrong. I added the "?" when I posted it.

Shipping record has Co Down but birth is before 1864 so can't get the image.

I can't find the arrival of son William Wells in 1878 or earlier.
