William Taylor b1850 Kirkintilloch.

[MonicaL]

Given we now have his trade as a tailor, from 1881 with Agnes (guess he showed as this also on his marriage reg.?). This looks like him in 1871:

John W Cummings 30
Alexandrina Cummings 30
John Cummings 9
Alexander Cummings 7
Elizabeth Cummings 5
Robert Cummings 2
William Taylor 19 tailor boarder b. Kirkintilloch Stirlingshire [sic]

Address: 28 Brandon St, Glasgow High Church

Both John and Alexandrina shows as born in Glasgow, so no obvious connection to him boarding there...other than just boarding there!

PS: Looby, he is a pain in the years before, I agree

Well done Monica !
Now to find him in 1861 

Added- think my Robertson request is now obsolete.

[MonicaL]

William I think may have been born after the 1851 census (30 March)?

1871 - 19 year old
1881 - 29 year old
1891 - AWOL
1901 - can't easily see so far...

Looby, don't know if we will find him in 1851. Maybe from the earlies, the 1861 is the only one outstanding.

Looks like you could be right about the 1851 Census.

[MonicaL]

I think the Catherine Parker that both you and Ev have mentioned before in 1851 boarding in Kirkintilloch is likely relevant:

Mary Graham, 22, unmarried, Cliper b. Glasgow
Catherine Young, daughter 5months b. Kirkintillock
Elizabeth Horn, Lodger, 22 seamstress, b. Denny Stirlingshire
Margaret Horn, Lodger, 9, servant, b. Falkirk Stirlingshire   
Catherine Parker, lodger, 20, weaver, unmarried, b. Glasgow   

Address: High Street, Kirkintilloch

What if Catherine was there to have her baby?

Creative imaginations, please apply here

I'm being very creative here???
I found a baby William Robertson a pauper aged 1 lodging with a family called Smith on the 1851 at Kirkintilloch. He was born in Glasgow. I think he is still with the family aged 11 in 1861.
I wondered if this was our boy- Then being really inventive I found a Catherine Robertson in Glasgow had married a James Parker!! You can see where this is going can't you....

  Looby, I don't think you are far from where it may be! You get my gold star 

Might need to trace further on Catherine Parker...what did she do after boarding at Kirkintilloch in 1851.

I could only see some children post 1855 to late 1860s, with mother showing as Catherine Parker as follows:

William Mclachlan and Catherine Parker
Matthew Currie and Catherine Parker...she shows 1861 as born in France c. 1835
Duncan Mckellar (also a Daniel, different couple?) and Catherine Parker...think this Catherine born c. 1830 in Greenock going by 1861 entry.

Couldn't see any children, Looby, for the family your found from a marriage, headed up by an Angus Carrie (unless he became Matthew Currie!).

I think Matthew Currie and Angus Carrie are 2 different people.
Decided to splash out and use some of my SP credits on the marriage of Catherine Parker and Angus Carrie ( my curiosity was killing me )
So Married at Kirkintilloch Manse on 10th October 1856-
Angus Carrie  age 27 and a half - residence  Kirkintilloch   bachelor    Weaver
Catherine Parker  age 27          - residence  Kirkintilloch   spinster     Weaver

Angus Carrie's parents   -  Robert Carrie labourer (decd) and Mary m.s. Toch (decd)
Catherine Parker's parents - William Parker weaver (decd) and Agnes m.s. Nancy Ferguson (decd)
Witness to the marriage - John Clark and Mary McCallum - they had to witness the marks X made by the happy couple .
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTT6-V56  a marriage which could be Catherine's parents!

I like the fact that the Catherine, wife of Angus is a weaver, linking back potentially to that 1851 entry. Just struggling to find them after that really...

Monica

PS: also like that this Catherine's father is called William
