Thanks for your help with this.  I thought there would probably be children other than Lily as they were married for years before she was born so now I have Alexander to research also and I suppose he would have moved out before the 1891 census.
Regards, Carmel

Hi,

Think this could be a BIG Possible for Alexander....

Alexander Cumming
Age is 24 (but with the way Census rounded age off and the
time of year it was done it could be him)
Born: Springburn,Glasgow
Occupation: Locomotive Engineer
Living at 17 Elmvale Row
Springburn

Wife:
Ann  Age 20,Born: Glasgow

Children:
1. Alexander age 5mo. Born: Springburn

Visitor: (must be family somehow)?
Andrew Cumming age 19,Born:Springburn
Occupation: Locomotive Engineer
Crookedtail

[cmcmull]

Yes this would be him.  I found the birth record in 1866 so the age of 11 in 1871 must have been an error.
Thanks again, Carmel

Hi carmel

just joined rootschat saw your message and thought you might be interested in my research as it follows the cumming family who originated from springburn. My gr gr gr gr grandfather was Alexander from springburn he married a Jane Cowan or Govan. Their son (b 1834) also named Alexander married Margaret Grey from England. They had a son also Alexander (b 1855) married Margaret Tait. They had 5 children (at least) - Elizabeth (lizzie); Alex; John; George; Christopher. Finally, Lizzie gave birth to my grandmother Frances Agnes 1917. Don't know if any of these links to your info, however I thought they could be related with being from the same place. Let me know if you find anything.

Clare.

Hello Clare
My research of Cumming family only starts with James born c 1829 who married Jane Semple. I'm researching the Semple family maternal line of Cuthell so unable to help with anything further on Cumming line.  I don't have parents names so James could also be a son of your Alexander since it was usually 3rd son who was named after the father and older sons named after their grandfathers. 
Regards Carmel
