1841/1851 names index has no birthplaces.
Also the 1841 census for Scotland rounds down all ages to either ?5 or ?0 except for children up to the age of 15. The actual 1841 census will only tell you if they were born in census county or not.

1841 census taken St John 644/1 enum dist 75 page 10

Robert Angus age 40
Mary age 15
Andrew age 15
William age 10
Janet age 10
Janet Cuthbertson age 35 (poss. Agnes's sister)
Directly above Robert's name there are..
Alexander Cuthbertson age 85
Janet Cuthbertson age 75
These are quite poss. Agnes's parents, as there is a birth in IGI for an Agnes to Alexander Cuthbertson and Janet Fleming about 1790 in Glasgow

1851 names index

Robert Angus age 54
Janet age 18
Janet Cuthbertson age 40


There's nothing for Robert in 1861 index

Liz,

Thank you for all those details.

What or where is St John?
Are there 1850's Glasgow directories that can provide street addresses, given a name?
