Hello Monica,
                     Thank you for taking the time to reply, On Johns marriage cert his father Francis is down as a shoemaker journeyman, and his mother is recorded as Mary MS Lapping, John is recorded as a coalminer, although he has had a few jobs, on his wife's death cert he is deceased and a marine engineer, John and Christina also had a son Francis in 1900 he died 7 mths then John was a stoker on a steam vessel, on my Grandads birth cert( also Francis born 1904)he is again a coal miner, I have seen the census return you've posted and this I believe is the same family, on Johns fathers death cert Francis is still recorded as a shoemaker journeyman and married to Mary Lappin, his death was recorded by daughter Mary Jane,
I have been in contact with the lady who posted the birth details on IGI, to let her know this is not the John I'm looking for.Francis & Mary were married in St Andrews Chapel G/gow on 8th Jan 1864.
