Finding it very difficult to read the above message without any ounctuation to break it into sentances but I think you found John McNeill in 1861 census age 6 and are assuming he was actually born in 1855. It could be that he was almost seven at the time of the 1861 census which would mean he was really born in 1854 or that the age is incorrect (very common).
Mitchell Library might have records but don't think they will do research for you.
One very good online source is births, marriages and deaths here. Not all parts of the alphabet are there yet but McNeills are:

thanks I realized Johns birth may well have been 1854 and not registered, I knew that if he was born in 1855 it would have been detailed and Iwould have found his parents birthplace,Iwas so excited at finding my gt gt gt grandad on the 1851 census.I live in Kilmarnock not too far away from Glasgow so may take a trip up to mitchell library
