Cassels Family Help Please

[k_faz22]

Hi
I was wondering if someone could help me.
I trying to trace more infomation on my 3xgr grandparents.

I have found my 3x gr grandfather on the 1841 census
George Cassels  aged 8 giving him a approx year of birth 1833
living with parents John Cassels age 40 Anne Cassels age 35
and sister Margaret Cassles age 15.

The census says they are living in the civil parish of Glasgow St Thomas
                                                       County Lanarkshire
                                                       Address Gallongate.
                                                       Parish number 644/1
Can anyone tell me roughly where this area would be located or what church they may have attend.
I am trying to find more information on George and his family. Baptism, marriage death records etc

I know George marries a lady called Margaret but unsure what her maiden name would have been or when they married. They married in Glasgow before moving to Manchester.
I am also trying to find out more on his parents John and Anne.
If anyone could point me in the right area to look for them or can help me in any way I would appreciate it as I am just hitting brick walls.

Thank you

Address is likely to be Gallowgate, which is near Glasgow Cross/High Street

Hello kel_faz22,
     Sorry, I don't have any direct information about the Cassels family, but I think the address is Gallowgate, Glasgow rather than Gallongate. 1841 Census Returns are not very detailed. Birth place of Scotland for both John & Anne Cassels means they were not born in the County they were living in when the 1841 Census was taken. (Lanarkshire) Also, on the 1841 Census, adult ages were rounded down to the next age divisible by 5. ie: John could be any age between 40 & 44. Anne aged 35-39 and daughter Margaret aged 15-19. (That's if they gave their correct age to start with!) Hope that helps to find them on 1851 Census.
               Regards,     Dod.

kel_faz22, you need to take a look at that marriage certificate. SP is Scotland's People. Go to www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and invest in 30 credits at a cost of £7.

Use 1 credit to find the marriage in the indexes, and 5 to view and download the certificate. This will tell you the full names of the couple's parents, including their mothers' maiden surnames. It should also tell you if the parents were deceased.

If they were not deceased, use another credit to find the death of George's mother and five to download the death certificate. She should be indexed under both her maiden and her married surnames. This will tell you the full names of her parents, including her mother's maiden surname, and whether she was married or widowed.

This will enable you to narrow down your search for John's death certificate, which will add the names of his parents.

Edit: I see that my post crossed with Isobelw's and that she has already used some of her own credits to look up the marriage for you, and that both John and Ann were deceased by 1856. There is a small chance that one or both died in 1855 or 1856, in which case there would be (a) death certificate(s), but if they died before that there won't be any.

Hello kel_faz22,
     Possible Marriage for George's parents. (ScotlandsPeople)
     John Cassils & Ann Elder married 25th August 1822, Barony District, Glasgow City, Lanarkshire.
     I didn't use Credits to view this entry but pre 1855 Parish Records (OPR) don't give a lot of information. Might give John's occupation, but unlikely to give parent's names.
               Regards,     Dod.
Added. Also found on A*try.
