I thought I had this family figured out. My problem is an unexpected William Park in 1841 census with my family. They were living in Gray's Close. A copy of the census image is at this link:

Archibald Park, 29, Bookprinter
Ann Park, 29
William Park, 4
Archibald Park, 2
Marion Park, 9mos.
William Park, 53, Millwright
Archibald's father was a William Park, hand loom weaver. His mother was named Janet Jackson. I do not think the above is his father mainly because I find his father and mother with some of his brothers and sisters in Govan. Most notably his brother Basil. I have been able to find only one Basil Park born in this time frame so I am fairly certain of this.
So who is this William?
I only see five viable explanations:
1. I am wrong about Archibald's Parents.
2. There were two William Park's that each married a Janet Jackson and had sons named Archibald and Basil. (Not very likely)?
3. The William Park with Archibald is Archie's older brother and the age should have been written 33 not 53 (written incorrectly on census).
4. The William Park with Archibald is Archie's 1st cousin once removed.
5. The William Park with Archibald is not related.
I am looking for any ideas or suggestions. I have been really stuck on this for several months and need some input.
