Have you looked at the indexes at Scotland's People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk ?

It lists the birth of a John Mackie Galbraith in 1897 in Glasgow and the death of John Mackie Galbraith, aged 81, mother's maiden surname Mackie, in Glasgow in 1978. Is this the one you are looking for?

There is a 13-year-old John Mackie Galbraith in the 1911 census in Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire.

If this is not the John Mackie Galbraith you are looking for

- who were his parents?
- where was he born?
- When was he born?
- where was he in the 1901 census?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

I would say this is the family going by the names posted
1901 Address 106,West Clyde Street Helensburgh
Samuel Galbraith age 44 born Glasgow occupation Iron Merchant
Mary Galbraith age 37 wife born Glasgow
Tertius Samuel Galbraith age I  son born Glasgow he is listed as scholar so age been transcribed wrong

1901 census for this family on Scotlands People has Tertius Galbraith as just Samuel age 7
Ref/number 503/10/6 Registration district Row / Dumbarton

Looks as if you got the transcription from a rather dubious source, then. Best if nmcasey takes a look at the original document at Scotland's People.

Yes Scotlands People would be the best site for the original

On the electoral Roll Records for Glasgow there is this  1934 address Crow Road Partick
Tertius S Galbraith
John M Galbraith

1935 Dorchester Avenue Hillhead Glasgow
John M Galbraith
Mary Galbraith
Tertius S Galbraith

Tertius S Galbraith is in several other records with a Gwendeline Ada Galbraith
Marriage for a Samuel Galbraith to a Gwendeline Ada Hawkins 1935 Partick
