I would say that Michael's birth registration has already been obtained given the details on Mary's first post with address and parents' names.

The other two would be worth checking too as you suggest.

So happens, there is a marriage for a Benjamin Chambers and Annie Johnston...but not till 1893 in Liverpool (2nd Qrt 8b/20) :-\

I cannot see any possible entry for the names we have on the 1891 census. There is a possible death for George maybe. A death shows for a George in Gateshead in 1885, the year we have for his birth (death 1st Qrt 10a/528). Age shows as 0, so weeks or months old

There's a George born in 1885 and a John William born in 1887 both with mothers maiden name Johnson.  Both Gateshead.

There is a baptism for a George Chambers on 25 Mar 1885 in Gateshead, parents Benjamin and Annie Chambers.

Is this one of the reasons you think that John, father, may also have the name of Benjamin?

There is also this www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1695000

Have you tried searching the Valuation Rolls? I tried searching for 143 Old Govan Road but no results at all for any numbers in Old Govan Road. If you search with the surname and Govan Road you may find something on there.

I had a look at that tree also, Colin. Of note is that none of the children for him were called Thomas or Janet. I can't see anything so far that would connect this George to Scotland with confidence www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/30154681/person/232342610780/facts

This George Hume is listed from at least 1819-1843 here https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/Cripplegate/GrapesWhiteCross.shtml showing as Brewer and Victualler at The Grapes, 24 White Cross Street Cripplegate. He must have been in London by 1808 when he married a Sarah Royce. Christenings of two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, in 1812 listed him as a Victualler.

The 1841 census shows him at White Cross Street with his two sons. Although he died in Reigate, Surrey, his burial was actually in the Parish of St Giles without Cripplegate on 24 October 1844.

Is he the son of Thomas and Janet though?

Sandra, there are a number of Ancestry trees for this family, such as this one www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/196076199/person/112562144329/facts

Have you contacted any of the tree owners yet? If not, I can help out with this tomorrow  :)

Have you viewed the 1862 death for Isabella Black or McKinnon? The SP index shows the maiden name of Black for her mother on her death registration index entry. Wondered what details showed on this cert for her parents.
