Am aware of what you sent thanks Joe.
My connection is distant but John Slavin (b 1904 to John and Janet Darby) married my fathers sister.

1891 Scotland Census
At 42 Cheapside St Glasgow
John Slavin  head age 48 Shoemaker b Ireland
Ellen Slavin Wife age 49 b Ireland
John Slavin Son Unmarried age 24 Shoemaker b Ireland
Thomas Slavin Son Unmarried age 20 Ship Labourer  b Ireland
Michael Slavin Son Unmarried age 14 Scholar b Ireland
Patrick Slavin Son Unmarried age 11 Scholar b Ireland
These are all  step children of Ellen as RC baptisms at Letterkenny name mother as Frances McGlinchey

Ellen's name on marriage of John to Janet Darby in 1893 gives her parents as defintely
David McLauchlan and (hard to read - Annie?) McGhee.

The trouble is on census no townlands are given so hard know where to look.
