Looking for ancestors of McAulays from Calton Glasgow area

[SVN]

Although...age at 1871 census is most likely not my Margaret. The 1861 census is the correct one.

Located the 1851 record - a few thoughts. While occupation matches, as well as birth place, the age of off by about 6 years. It also says "family visiting" - so he was visiting family in Scotland and left the family back in NI? Hmm. Hard call - a 50-50 shot.

If Margaret the daughter born Glasgow in about 1848 according 1861 census, then the whole family should be in Scotland in 1851.  I wondered who else was on that 1851 census entry, and whether it was worth following it up. 
Also, that 1871 census I found, perhaps Margaret, the daughter's age has been incorrectly transcribed there.  William has the same profession in 1861 and 1871.

There are always the problems about transcription when one cannot see the record (without paying).

Which person are you descended from?

[chempat]

If William, 1871, is correct, here he is in 1891, still a carpet designer, living in Dennistoun:
William B McAulay   46  Ireland
Catherine McAulay   48  Kilmarnock
William B McAulay   21
Margaret B McAulay   17
Mary H McAulay   11
John G McAulay   8
Catherine P McAulay   5

and 1901, same place, does not say if married or widowed:
William B Mcaulay   56
William B Mcaulay   31
John G Mcaulay   18
Cath R Mcaulay   15

William Brown Macaulay dies in Dennistoun in 1902.

I think the 1871 census might actually be right. You are correct in saying that ages are a bit off, but I'm finding that with everything. I think thta is her, but then she moved from High Church to elsewhere before she died.

[SVN]

And then that would account for Thomas' son. It seems like a proper match - I mean, you expect there to be some inconsistencies given that none of the older records are perfect, right? I hope we're right - so many Margarets!

[SVN]

Still trying to track down Margaret (wife of Thomas). Figuring her death is after 1869, given that she is still alive at the time of Thomas' death.

[chempat]

There are the 2 deaths that I said earlier, between 1871 and 1881 in Glasgow area, and then another one in 1884.  (If we have missed her on 1881 census)
2 of them are in Dennistoun and one in Govan.  2 have birth years of around 1809/1811 and one around 1813/1814. 
Up to you.
