thanks crista, james mccarroll born 1877 where ? married in gorbals glasgow 1896 . died 3/1/1944 in glasgow .have noticed that mccarroll was spelt with only one L on marriage certificate, but then changed to double L on birth of his children ?

Jacqueline, You need to get someone with access to the Scottish censuses to do a lookup for you. Chances are he was born in Scotland and the censuses you mention you checked are for England and Wales only. Crista
