1851/1861 Census - Ballantyne

[liverpool lass]

Can someone look for the following;
George Ballantyne born c 1824 married Catherine McKenzie sometime in 1851 so may be single at the time of the census. Living in Glasgow.
By 1861 they have the following children; Agnes born 1856 Calton, Jessie born 1859 Calton and John born 1861 Bridgtin. George is described as a Merchant Seaman on Agnes' marriage certificate but may have been a Coachman before this.

Thanks
Sorry  should have been on Lanarkshire board - got carried away!
