Thank you, much appreciated.

Thomas McCall died in 1935 and his address is 66 Prince Edward Street even then, so seem pretty settled there.

Must be an administrative error at the time maybe, annoying!  :(

Children are:
1891
101 High St, Ayr
Thomas McCall   35
Jean McCall   37
Jessie McCall   10
Anthony McCall   8 b Girvan
Jeanie McCall  5 B Ayr

1901
66 Prince Edward Street, Tradeston, Glasgow

Thomas Mccall   45
Jane Mccall   47
Marion Mccall   22
Anthony Mccall   18
Jane Mccall   15
Thomas Mccall   9 b Ayr
Margarita Mccall   3 b Ayr

Anthony married in 1914 and his address is 66 Prince Edward Street

Thanks I'll have a look.
Family could for some inexplicable reason could be visiting different places at the time of the Census. Happened to me when searching for a branch of my family on 1891 and found then scattered over Renfrewshire, Lanarkshire and  Ayrshire - I'd expected to find them all in Paisley! - mum and 2 youngest were visiting 2 people in Lanarkshire - They were not related to the people and I still don't know why they were there.

Looby  :)

Grasping at a straw here!
There is a Thomas Call aged 54 on the 1911 at Govan. Lanarkshire. But I think he's alone :-\

Tom, in the other thread that the Moderator has locked to prevent duplication of effort, you ask about lists of people emigrating.

Nobody actually kept such lists in any systematic way. For a start, there was free movement to and from England, Wales and Ireland, not forgetting the Isle of Man and Channel Islands, of which there would have been no records.

As for emigrating overseas, the authorities in the UK were not really interested in recording who was leaving the country. You have to rely on the countries they emigrated to for records of emigrants.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Hi Tom,

Not sure if you are still looking but think you will find the family listed under McColl in Glasgow City, Pollockshields. Address as expected 66 Prince Edward Street.
