Hi Catriona,
I've got a fair amount on these now.
Archibald: Baptised 17th July 1803. Died 30th July 1855 Rutherglen. He was a Coal Miner. He and Janet Brisbane had 3 children Elizabeth, Isabella and James
James Baptised 1st November 1812 Rutherglen. Married Martha Murray 20th December 1833 Rutherglen
Their children: James bap. 2nd March 1834, Gilbert 16th September 1835, Margaret 27th May 1838, Archibald 29th September 1839, John 1841, David 22nd April 1849, Martha 13th April 1851, William 20th February 1853. All baptised Rutherglen
James died 26th March 1883 Rutherglen. He was a Road Contractor.
William baptised 3rd August 1823. Married Ann Stobo 21st October 1849 Rutherglen. No children. Ann died 1872.
He then married Adnes Wilson 8th January 1874. No children. William died 17th May 1875.
The interesting part re. William is that he left everything to Ann in his will. She shows up on the 1881 census, having knocked 10 years off her age with a 'lodger'
She has her age in the census as 33 and lodger is 27. I couldn't find her after that. No death or marriage, but Harry Golden Shaw (said lodger) was born in Madras so maybe she emigrated???
Agnes bap. 16th April 1820 married Thomas Neilson 10th August 1845. Agnes died 9th November 1893 Rutherglen
Their children: James bap. 2nd May 1847, Thomas 17th April 1849, Agnes 30th May 1852, William 20th August 1854 all baptised Rutherglen.David born 30th April 1860 Bridgeton.
I've got a bit more that I'll post in a day or two.
