I don't know why but I am getting '0' hits with searching for him in pre 1855 births/baptisms on scotland's people - why!?

B. 24/11/1845 - bapt. 27/11/1845   MCGROCH   JOHN. Parents: FRANCIS MCGROCH/ANN MARTEMA

is anyone else able to get to the  '1 credit needed' stage?

You need to go on to the RC baptism database which is separate to the OPR births pre 1855. When you are on the main search options, look to the r/h side under 'Other Records'. You will see listed there: Catholic Parish Registers 1703-1955. If you click on that, and then on the next screen click on : Please Click Here to Search Births & Baptisms

I searched surname as m*cg*o*h, and then Fran* for father's name. You might as well get all the entries (max. up to 25 on one page of search results) in one go on the search screen so that you can go back and view more images if you want to for the rest of the family at a later date

Not sure if you will find any trace of McGough stones at Old Dalbeth Cemetery. Gerry Farrell has done a huge amount of research at Old Dabelth. Lots of pictures and info on these posts:

Here is his birth - finally!

BIRTH OF JOHN MCGOUGH 24 November 1845
Roman Catholic
Transcribed as: 1845 MCGROCH, JOHN [S.C.A. Births MP 0062 00001 00002 00005 00343-031 Glasgow, St Andrews.

P341 - 2
Names of children: John
Legitimacy: lawful
1845 names of parents: Francis McGrouch & Ann Martema
When born: 24 November 1845
When baptized: 27 November 1845
1845 names of sponsors: James Boyle & Helen Cogans [?]
Name of clergyman: Thomas Leady [?]
 
but what a lot I have learnt from you about the crowded conditions in Glasgow and their district in particular,

and that John had 2 siblings who died young as did his mother. He was not an only child. I need to digest it all.

Also that he was born a Roman Catholic but married as a Presbyterian. Was this common?

when he married he was living at 38 st Andrews Square - was that a healthier location ?

The last time I can find the Mc in the McGough in the family was in 1920 by my great grandfather David signing his mother Helen McGough's death cert. The Mc was it seems forgotten until recently.
