Could someone look up these families for me on the Scottish census?
I have a marriage of Alexander McLaughlan and Mary Kerr at Anderston, Glasgow on Jan 18 1864. Alexander says he is 35, but other records indicate that he would have been 37 - so born 1827. His father is James Mclaughlan, farmer, deceased and his mother is Rose (name not very clear) McLaughlan nee Quinn.
Mary's father is John Kerr, pithead man, mother is Elizabeth. Mary is 17. Other helpful people have found Alexander on 1861, a soldier at Edinburgh Castle.

Could someone look for Alexander on 1851 and his parents on any later censuses? I would be very interested to see where his family came from.

Could someone look for Mary's family on 1861 and 1851?

Thank you very much.
