Hi again,

Sure, Matt. I had actually located the family in 1881, but I wasn't sure if you had it already! Ancestry have them as Coscosan.

Residence: Acay Square, Bothwell, Lanarkshire
Patrick Coscosan, m, head, 30, puddler, Muirkirk, Ayrshire
Bridget ", f, wife, 26, -, Muirkirk, Ayrshire
Dennis Barret, m, stepson, 8, scholar, Bothwell, Lanarkshire
Bridget Coscosan, f, dau., 5, scholar, Bothwell, Lanarkshire
Margret ", f, dau., 3, -, Bothwell, Lanarkshire
Mary ", f, dau., 2, -, Bothwell, Lanarkshire
Ann ", f, dau., 2 months, -, Bothwell, Lanarkshire
and a visitor: Bridget Seagroff, f, 15, domestic servant, Bothwell, Lanarkshire

I'll start with Patrick's family on this posting and Bridget's on the next. I think this could be them in 1871.

1871 Residence: Edin & Glasgow Road Muirmadkin, Bothwell, Lanarkshire
Martin Coreman, m, head, 52, lab, Ireland
Margaret ", f, wife, 40, -, Ireland

And here's the Barrett's.

1871 Residence: New Sq, Bothwell, Lanarkshire

Bridged ", f, dau., 14, -, Muirkirk, Ayrshire
Patrick ", m, son, 13, assistant roller, Muirkirk, Ayrshire

Margaret ", f, dau., 8, scholar, Muirkirk, Ayrshire
Martin ", m, son, 5, scholar, O. Monkland, Lanarkshire
Ellen ", f, dau., 3, -, Bothwell, Lanarkshire

Some confusion over the names of Margaret and Andrew here, but I think they're as I've put them. I think Patrick and Bridget Thomas are likely to be Bridget's parents.
