I have James Watson born 1828 in Falkirk up to the 1881 census then I can't find him

on 1881 census he was living with his wife Isabella Gillespie
his son John G aged 13 his daughter  Janet R  aged 16 and Hugh G aged 4 all born in Barony Lanarkshire
The family were then living at 273 New City Road Glasgow.

Cannot find him either in the 1891 onwards census.

However, the Scotlands People Index have a death in 1888 for a James Watson, aged 59 in the Maryhill District of Glasgow. His address in the 1881 census is in Maryhill.

Could this be him?

Pleased to have helped.

14 children - they did have large families in those days  ;D

Have you managed to get his Death Certificate from SP ?

Hi Dorrie,
              Yes I downloaded it from SP he was only 58 his father died aged 90 and his mother aged 87

They certainly did my grandfather was the youngest of thirteen and granny middle one of twelve my

dad knew all his cousins all born in the one village -- great help when doing my research.

Thanks again
