Hi There,
Many Thanks for that information that is the right family,
 i had got them on a later census but your information helps prove they had moved to glasgow much earlier than i had thought,

Kind Regards Brenda
Have a very merry xmas

Hi , I have not been able to log into my old account, bobbyslass, I posted along time ago looking for mcmartins in killin area, I have tracked a Peter mcmartin with wife Christina , on 1851 census in Glasgow but can't find them in killin...... I have a lot of mcmartins in the dumbartonshire area if we have a link that would be great .
