It is not the best writing, it could also be McLerie. I have the image as I have family lower down also at 33 Oriental Terrace Govan. The Image also states Parish of Bellahouston. I have not been able to find where Oriental Terrace was. Does anyone have any ideas?

I feel sure this is the same family in 1871 - however I cannot access the image to check what I feel are mistranscriptions.
Sorry if it looks strange but I can only put what has been recorded in the index
