Household Members
Members that resided in the household at the time of the census.
First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Sex Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Michael McCue Head Married Male 26 1875 Coal Miner Carluke, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Agnes McCue Wife Married Female 24 1877 Wife Kirkwood, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Thomas McCue Son Single Male 5 1896 Scholar Bellshill, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Mary McCue Daughter Single Female 1 1900 - Morningside, Lanarkshire, Scotland

Going by the 1901 census above, one of these will be Thomas's birth:

MCCUE
THOMAS
M
1895
644/10 2
Anderston


MCCUE
THOMAS
M
1895
655/3 80
Shotts (Western District)

Bellshill is about halfway between Anderston and Shotts.

You'd have to look at the image of the actual birth cert on Scotlands People to see which one is your grandfather.
It's free to register on SP, and to do the initial search.
To look at images of certs you need to buy credits (30 minimum for £7.50). It costs 6 credits to view and print (if wished) a cert.

The birth cert would tell you the exact place and date of his parent's marriage.

I don't see their marriage on SP.

This is probably the death of the Shotts child:

MCCUE
THOMAS
0
1896
655/3 23
Shotts (Western District)

So the Anderston one is likely to be your grandfather.

Your grandfather's death ???
