Children found in IGI

1861 name index Glasgow

Census taken TRADESTON,  644/9 enum dist. 91 page 14

Hugh Barclay age 32 born Kilmarnock
Helen age 25 born Glasgow
Margaret T age 1 born Glasgow, Tradeston

1861 census taken Glasgow Central, 644/1 Enum dist. 80 page 15

Looks like it could be Hugh's parents.

Hugh Barclay age 58 born Kilmarnock
Agnes age 55 born Balfron, Dunbarton
James age 25 born Kilmarnock
David age 15 born Glasgow.

You'll notice how two of Hugh and Helen's children have Marshall in their name, There was a Hugh Barclay married to Agnes Marshall 23 jun 1826 Kilmarnock

Marriages and births were found in www.familysearch.org

1851 name index  has no birthplaces, but again, this looks like your Barclay family

Census taken INNERHIGH ward 555 enum dist. 21 page 1

Hugh Barclay age 48
Agnes age 45
Hugh age 22
Elizabeth age 17
James age 15
David age 5

Now you have a lot of homework to do

Hi Nigel,  On reading over the  1861 census for Hugh and Agnes, it just struck me that Balfron is in Stirlingshire and not Dunbartonshire, must be a transcription error.
So had a quick look to see if maybe either Hugh or Agnes were still living in 1881.

1881 census

   Dwelling:   250 High Street
   Census Place:   Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
   Source:   FHL Film 0203645     GRO Ref    Volume 644-5    EnumDist 13    Page 14
   Marr   Age   Sex   Birthplace
Agnes BARCLAY   W   76    F   Bonhill, Dunbarton, Scotland

Next I checked to see if there were any Agnes Marshalls born either in Bonhill or Balfron.
BINGO......Agnes Marshall born 29th may 1806, BONHILL, Dunbartonshire........parents. Robert Marshall and Margaret Buchanan

Good chance of them being the same person.

Hello BALNABEEN,

I am sorry to say that we have lost contact with Nigel, it looks like he changed email address but never logged back in to update it.

Old members do get in touch asking to update details.

Regards

Sarah
