Well done, Ann  think you are spot on with that one for her. From NRS http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/search.aspx

Accused:    

Mary Ann Butler, married, wife of Hugh Butler (co-accused), m.s. McCann (looks like a slip on the maiden name for her), Address: 47 Stirling Street, Cowcaddens, Glasgow, Origin: Native of Londonderry, Ireland

Catherine McCann, unmarried, millworker, Address: Meuse Lane, Glasgow, Origin: Native of Glasgow

Hugh Butler, married, Age: 28, labourer, Address: 47 Stirling Street, Cowcaddens, Glasgow, Origin: Native of Glasgow

Precognition refs AD14/1900/78

The actual trial on papers, 27 Feb 1900, JC26/1900/22, state:

Accused    

Catherine McCann, unmarried, Verdict: Not guilty, Verdict Comments: Assoilzied, Sentence: Assoilzied and dismissed Previous convictions: theft - Glasgow police court, 7 November 1898

Mary Ann Butler, married, wife of Hugh Butler (co-accused), m.s. McCann, Verdict: Not proven, Verdict Comments: Assoilzied, Sentence: Assoilzied and dismissed Previous convictions: theft - Glasgow police court, 24 August 1896

Hugh Butler, married, Verdict: Not proven, Verdict Comments: Assoilzied, Sentence: Assoilzied and dismissed


So, Mary Ann must have committed a further offence after this date to show where she does in 1901...

Oh Dear !
Sadly, it looks like Catherine McCarron was also involved in this case of  housebreaking.

Missed that ref completely, Anne! McCann and McCann, of course 

Monica

Added: Although that Catherine McCann is showing as a native of Glasgow   Hugh too, but I can't easily find him earlier if he was born c. 1872 going by his age given in the 1900 trial papers.

And there they are...well done Anne 

So that fits with the 1901 census entry for Catherine, matching addresses really from the trial papers

Catherine McCarn, 28, Rag Store Worker b. Glasgow
Address: 6 Muse Lane, Glasgow/Milton

Age out a bit...but what is new!

Don't we just love spelling variations 

Possible death entry for mother Catherine:

1895   MCCANN/GILLESPIE CATHERINE - aged 58   DENNISTOUN   GLASGOW CITY/LANARK   644/03 2258

Couple of options for Bernard after 1881, with further spelling variations on the surname.
