This seems a possible given the family were in Kinning Park for the 1891 census although age out again which seems a common occurrence?

The youngest child Alexander was born 1895 in Glasgow, so it makes sense to look close to there.

I think it was William who was born in 1894 and Alexander c. 1896-7. Not sure if their birth certs have been confirmed yet?

Well this has certainly turned into something strange.

Per my previous post I looked at many that include Kinning Park, Tradeston, Hutchesontown or Kelvin so don't waste your coin.  That leaves 15 left in all of Lanarkshire.

Alexander, William and Matilda moved to Sydney and died there.

With a surname like Cameron  :'( I needed therapy after my MacDonalds!

Have found youngest Alexander's WW1 service papers. He gives mum (Mrs Cameron) and Troon address when he enlisted. Clip below. I think it 4 Collenan Terrace? Think he enlisted on 24/02/17 and showed as aged 21 and 76 days, so born Dec 1896?

He enlisted with the King's Own Scottish Borders, Reg No 29065

Of interest really is the confirmation of Ellen, mother, with a Troon address as detailed in the report of the wedding of son James in Dublin at this time.

From the 1915 Valuation Rolls, maybe this entry for son John in Troon? Mother and younger siblings with him? Also showing there in 1920. Can't get anything for this address from there, maybe a change to street name?

Very good MonicaL, the Troon address matches the marriage announcement in the newspapers. Alexander was born 10th Dec 1885.
