Hi - I was wondering if anyone could look up someone on Scotland Census for me... not sure which years they were done, but the name is James McCall, b 1842, married Catherine (unknown surname), b 1846. They had a daughter, Agnes McCall, b 1878 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, I believe. Thank you so much in advance! Carole

This is the only James, wife Catherine, born abt 1842 that shows on first searching. They have a daughter ANGELA born c1878. It's 1881 so I'm assuming you have it as you don't ask for it, but is he your man? Name: James McCall Age: 40 Estimated birth year: abt 1841 Relationship: Head Spouse's name : Catherine Gender: Male Where born: Derry, Ireland Registration Number: 644/11 Registration district: Hutchesontown Civil parish: Glasgow Hutchesontown County: Lanarkshire Address: 92 So Wellington St Occupation: Bootmakers Fareman Household schedule number: 1 Line: 1 Roll: cssct1881_243 Household Members: Name Age James McCall 40 Catherine McCall 32 James McCall 14 Mary Ann McCall 12 Andrew McCall 10 William McCall 5 Angela McCall 3 Henry McCann 20 - lodger James Toughel 21 - lodger

If so this is probably them mistranscribed in 1871. Same address.

Hi, Ozibird!! Many thanks and so quick!! I do not think that this is my James as there's no mention of a daughter, Agnes (my mam's gran, born 1878).... thanks for trying anyway! Regards, Carole (Canada)

Carole, Angela may be a mistranscription of Agnes, so don't discard completely. It was the only likely family to come up on the search. Unfortunately there is no way to view the images of Scotland's censuses so I can't check for you. Perhaps you should request a lookup for Agnes's birth. Ozi.

1881 how about this one if you have only estimated the ages of parents? Name: James McCall Age: 26 Estimated birth year: abt 1855 Relationship: Head Spouse's name : Katherine Mother's name: Helen Gender: Male Where born: Glasgow, Lanarkshire Registration Number: 627 Registration district: Cambuslang Civil parish: Cambuslang County: Lanarkshire Occupation: Steelwork Labourer ED: 4 Page: 36 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 187 Line: 2 Roll: cssct1881_206 Household Members: Name Age Agnes McCall 3 Glasgow Helen McCall 60 Mother born Ireland James McCall 26 Katherine McCall 25 Glasgow

Hi Glitter Baby! Yes, this looks like it!! The dates are corect for James and Catherine is spelled with a K (right date) Agnes was born in 1878, so it's dead on too!!! Is there a street address?? Also, is there a marriage for James and Katherine? so I can order a Marriage Certificate, find out James' father's name. Were there any more children for them? Many thanks!!! Cheers, Carole

1871 possible Name: James McColl Age: 17 Estimated birth year: abt 1854 Relationship: Son Mother's name: Helen Gender: Male Where born: Glasgow, Lanark Registration Number: 644/10 Registration district: Hutchesontown Civil parish: Glasgow Govan County: Lanarkshire Address: 26 Thistle St Occupation: App Dup Founder ED: 75 Page: 15 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 83 Line: 21 Roll: CSSCT1871_142 Household Members: Name Age Helen McColl 43 Head, farm servant, born Ireland James McColl 17 Mary McColl 27 occ: machinist. born Ireland 1881 information is all that is available on Ancestry. ScotlandsPeople do not have images for 1881. I have no credits on ScotlandsPeople to do a search for either the birth of Agnes or the marriage of her parents. 1891 best match but if her not found the parents Name: Agnes McColl Age: 14 Estimated birth year: abt 1877 Relationship: Inmate Gender: Female Where born: Lanarkshire, Glasgow Registration Number: 597 Registration district: Kilmarnock Civil parish: Kilmarnock Town: Kilmarnock County: Ayrshire Address: St Marnock's Street, Kilmarnock Ayrshire Occupation: Scholar ED: Kilmarnock Certified Industrial School Page: 4 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 1 Line: 17 Roll: CSSCT1891_208 Maureen

Hi Glitter Baby! Thank you once again! Interesting the 1891 Census Info.. would an industrial school be a live-in school? must be as it says 'inmate'.. wondering if this is my Agnes (it is spelled McColl - I know that could be mispelled, but also wondering if James and Catherine would be able to afford to send her to this school??). Could be though! I think I will try Scotlands People site too! Thanks for the tip. I don't mind buying credits if it gets me somewhere - I have used up hundreds on Genesreunited and gotten no entries at all for Agnes (apart from her marriage to Arthur)... wondering if she was even born in Glasgow? Some entries for Helen McCall, etc., it says Ireland for place of birth.... maybe Agnes was born there also? Is there an Ireland People site????? 'talk' soon! Cheers Carole PS It's Mothers Day here in Canada!!
