Thank you for all the messages and information - particularly the one with Isabella and her older siblings which was the link I was missing.  I shall certainly follow up at SP and hopefully Janet lived long enough to have a death certificate post 1855!
Warm regards,
Anne

Thanks for the prompt response. The one lot I transcribed were from 1841 the other lot I shall have to check as  someone else helped me find them. I do much of my research  at our local FHS. The names are. From 1841 Census
James Stirling 68 b 1773 Dumbartonshire shoemaker
Janet    "        65    1776 Scotland
John     "        19    1822 Dumbarton
Robert  "        12    1829    "
John  Murray     5    1836   "
Jane Stirling    25    1816   "
Some of them look like grandchildren rather than children ?

The other list that I will have to find source for  - parents  James Stirling and Janet Martin
James 28/6/1803 Kirkintilloch
Janet 18/4/1807   "
Margaret 4/1/1810  "
William Chris 11/10/1801
John  Bapt  27/10/1799  birth 21/10/1799
I suspect it might be from Family Search - there is a folio no 1041997
My computer is runnung very slow but hope this makes some sense to you!

Dunbartonshire / Isabella Marshall MS Stirling

I have a death record for my paternal grandmotherx3 age 80 in Kirkintilloch in1895 with parents (both deceased) James Stirling a cotton manufacturer and Janet Martin. I have her marrying David Marshall in Gorbals in 1846 and a birth record for her in 1815. The only Census where I could link her to siblings is 1841 but I can only find a Scots born Isabella Stirling of the right age working in England! I have found a James and Janet Stirling with chidren born 1799 -1810 and another James and Janet with children 1816 - 1829. As I have no idea when James and Janet were born it is hard to look for death certificates to narrow things down - any ideas please

As 2 of Rosie's comments are on different pages, I missed one of them.  The family in 1891 and 1901 that she noted, are the family I am researching - It was because there was confusion with a Janet's birth but no Martha Murray's birth in this family that I posted my query - with very helpful results  :)

Re Rosie's query about Martha McKinnon/Murray in 1881 Census. That is who I mean by 'my' Martha! As I could not find any Martha McKinnon with a mother named Mary in 1881,I felt more confident that Martha Murray was the illegitimate Martha that William found.  I shall follow up on his 1911 Census suggestion though I can only access the Scottish 1911 through SP so will have to wait til my budget catches up.   :(

William's tip also panned out as Martha was Illegitimate on the birth certificate and Mary McKinnon was a domestic servant - as was the Mary McKinnon who married William Murray. No age or place of birth for the mother is on the birth certificate to cross check but, given that I can find no Martha McKinnon daughter of Mary in the 1881 Census am I fairly safe to assume this is 'my' Martha?  :)

Rosie's lead to Janet Murray was the correct one. Janet died at Thornbank House, Maryhill in Nov 1877 aged 3 and a half of hydrocephalus. Now I just have to load up my SP credits and follow up William's lead.  Thank you both :)

Thank you to both for the suggestions. I am as certain as one can be that the 1881 census is the correct family as it ticks all the boxes (except for Martha!) I shall follow up on both the death of Janet and  earlier birth of a Martha.

Lanarkshire / Another Murray puzzle
« on: Monday 02 May 16 05:02 BST (UK)  »
A great-great uncle William Murray (another one!) born Airdrie in 1848 married Mary McKinnon born in Balfron Stirlingshire in 1852. Marriage cert from ScotlandsPeople - married on 8 August, 1873 in Govan. Also from ScPe. a birth certificate for Janet Turnbull Murray on 5 May 1874 in Barony. My problem is that in Census for 81, 91 and 1901 (and the correct family I believe) the eldest is Martha born either 73 or 74. I cannot find a matching birth record for her - nor can I find Janet Turnbull Murray in the Census. Janet Turnbull was William's mother and Martha was the name of Mary McKinnon's grandmother and younger sister. What am I missing??
