Aha! Here's James in 1881, with his mother:

her father is deceased and a glassblower at time of marriage mother is catherine devlin previously mcgunnigal maiden name cant make out
|
Hmmm - well, the glassblower in 1911 obviously isn't her father.
Her mother's remarriage:
MCGUNNIGLE CATHERINE DEVLIN JOHN 1905 644/6 185 St Rollox
|
Her mother's death:
DEVLIN [ also listed as McGUNNIGLE and as FERNS - so that's the right family above ] CATHERINE 49 1916 644/5 359 Garngadhill
I don't see James McGunnigle's death.

I'm hooked, so used a few more credits and had a look at the birth cert for Henry, one of the McGunnigle children in 1911.
It looks as if the James McGonigle who is at the same address as the Kennas in 1921-23 (116 Drygate Street) , with Mrs Annie McGonigle, could be the James from 1911 census.
Henry McGunnigle. Born 14th Sept 1907, at 6am, at 50 Provanhill Street, Glasgow. Father: James McGunnigle, bottle blower, journeyman. Mother: Annie McGunnigle, ms Crumlish. Parents' marriage: 31 Dec 1901 in Glasgow.
Marriage:
CRUMLISH ANNIE MCGUNNIGLE JAMES 1902 644/6 38 St Rollox
But I'm not hooked enough to look at the marriage cert to see if James is Catherine Ferns's son!
