EDIT

The above census has all the children born in England - so now I am not sure that the later census for Hugh tie in. From the IGI it looks like Hugh was born in Scotland.

The marriage certificate for Hugh and Barbara will be available on Scotlandspeople so you should be able to get their parents from that.

If you give us the details when you get the marriage we may be able to sort out whcich Hugh and Barbara are yours on the census records.

You have done well on this one Aileen - it would be nice if annies came back and gave us her comments on what you have found for her.

I wonder if this is John's birth? The area is right, parents first names are right.....and I suppose Scouller could be mistaken for Russell if the original writing was difficult to read

I would be gratefull for any information as i am new to this and This is definitely them although besides my grandfather Edward I only recall hearing about Maggie and Hugh I dont recall the other namesMy dads brother was also called John and scouller was his second name when i asked about it years ago I was told it was a family name,so that line seems to be right as well.M y Dad and his family all immigrated to Aust. around 1949/50,and have all passed away so I do not have anyone I can obtain information from, .Would anyone have any idea what pottery place John may have worked or how I could find that out Thank you for any help youmay be able to give me regarding my famiy. or to steer me in the rightdirection.

There is some information about Glasgow potteries here

http://collections.glasgowmuseums.com/cld.html?cid=533642

John's address on his marriage entry may help identify which pottery he may have worked for.

Marriage certificates give the names of the bride and grooms parents including the mothers' maiden surnames also the occupations of the fathers and the age of the bride and groom.
