Sorry for the confusion. I had made the two threads to find out two different things and the family seemed to go in two different directions around 1888.
Joseph didn't make it to adulthood but he made it to 8 years old. He died on 15th April 1898 in the Royal Infirmary, Dennistoun with his usual residence being 34 Kent Street, Calton. He died of an accidental fractured skull. His informant was his father John Roger.

Yes that's right.
She married Thomas Lochhead on 8 December 1899 in Blackfriars although Thomas was already married to someone else at the time. Thomas and Mary also had 2 children, George (1900-1900) and Thomas (1901-1981)
She died on 18th February 1909 in Cambuslang. Her informant was her son William O'Hara but he had changed his name to William Lochhead. Mary was also listed as a widow although her husband hadn't died until 1925.
There has been a lot of name changes between her children as different combinations of O'Hara, Lochhead, Mc/MacDonald.
I have Mary McDonald in 1881 and 1901 but can't find her in 1891. She could have any surname between McDonald, O'Hara, Roger and maybe something else I haven't found yet.
I know in 1889 she was living at 118 George Street and by 1893 she was living at 120 Saltmarket.

Lanarkshire / Mary McDonald
« on: Tuesday 06 February 24 23:08 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find the 1891 Census for my 3rd great-grandmother, Mary McDonald.
She was born 13th November 1859 in Shettleston.
She married James O'Hara on 20th August 1880 in Camlachie.
In the 1881 Census she is named as Mary McDonald, living with her parents in Camlachie.
Her surviving children in 1891 would be:
William O'Hara born 2nd January 1887 in Blackfriars
Joseph Roger (illegitimate) born 9 December 1889 in Blackfriars.
Her husband James O'Hara allegedly died in 1888 and she then had her son Joseph Roger with a man called John Roger, Iron Foundry Labourer. Mary McDonald was a Shawl Fringer when her son Joseph was born. Joseph was born at 118 George Street
Any help would be appreciated

Lanarkshire / James O'Hara, Tinsmith

I'm trying to find the death details for my 3rd great-grandfather James O'Hara.
He was christened in August 1858 in St Malachy's Church, Belfast, Ireland and his parents were Alice Quin and Michael O'Hara.
In the 1871 Census, his name is listed as James O'Heir living in Calton, Glasgow and he was 12 years old
James O'Hara, a Tinsmith, married Mary McDonald in Camlachie on 20th August 1880.
In the 1881 Census, Mary lived with her parents in Camlachie and listed her name as Mary McDonald.
I believe James O'Hara was living in St Nicholas, Aberdeen and had his name listed as James O'Harry, 23 years old, Tinsmith. Although the James in this census record was supposedly born in Aberdeen, there is no record of a James O'H* born in Aberdeen between 1855 and 1861.
Mary McDonald had my 2nd great-grandfather in 1893. His parentage was listed as 'Mary Adams McDonald, Shawl Fringer, widow of James O'Hara, Tinsmith (journeyman) who died in Glasgow in September 1888.
However, when Mary McDonald applied for Poor Relief in 1900 this was recorded about James O'Hara.
'Family by 1st Husband James O'Hara, Born Bruickfield, Calton died 13 years ago in America.
He was very ill when he went there.
William, 14, Born 2nd Jan 1887 at 44 George Street Glasgow, Laundry worker @ 6/- per week.
Daniel McDonald (illegitamate), 7, born 9 Jan 1893 at 120 Saltmarket.'
James O'Hara and Mary McDonald had a child that died on 10 October 1887 called Jessie O'Hara who died in 44 George Street, Glasgow. James O'Hara, Tinsmith, is listed as her father and still alive.
I have looked for death records but I haven't found anything that relates to him. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all the help and suggestions I received.
After a couple months of creating this tree on Ancestry, I have found multiple DNA matches through Thomas Scott Ferries that confirms that he is the right person.

Thank you for all the help and suggestions.
I do believe that Thomas Scott Ferries is the guy I have been looking for. I had looked in NRH at the 1921 census and checked every single record for Thomas Ferris, and the lorryman in Gorbals is the only one who even gets close to matching.
I have e-mailed a relative who also does genealogy to get her thoughts. I am going to build this tree on ancestry and see if anyone of my DNA matches suddenly links through this tree.
