Hi Joebhoy
Do you have an approx age for him and any other info - marital status, occupation, etc. It makes searching easier.

In 1881 (to keep you smiling ), Thomas is living with his parents;
Gro Ref - vol 503, Ed 11 Page 17
96E King Street, Row, Dumbarton
James McKechnie, hd, mar, 41, fish dealer, b. Erskine, Refrew Mary, wife, mar, 40, b. Haddington William, son, 20, fisherman, b. Inchinnan, Renfrew John, son, 16, fisherman, b.
