Thank yo mum44. How quick are you. yes this looks like the family doesn't it. In the 1841 census it shows the sons Hugh and William but the ages seemed to be out with them which through me a bit. William is my line and he died 24 Jun 1884 so could you do me a favour and see if you can trace then 71, 81 . Much appreciate your help.

Interesting!  My father was John Watson Speirs, born c1914.  I lived at 3 Thornhill, Johnstone and my grandparents (William? and Margaret) lived at "The Thorn"), about 100 yards up the road.

It was the Watson that got me in your original post.

I think we're dancing around a bit here.  My paternal grandmother was Margaret Leckie from around Houston (Renfrewshire!).  The names all seem to be family ones (John, William, Watson), so perhaps we're all cousins.

I'll check with my brother who still lives in Johnstone.
