Hi Mary

Just so things don't confuse, I think there were two couples with the same surnames, Mitchell & McCurdy, having children at the same time, including Joseph and wife Mary McCurdy:

The Cambuslang births are:

1905 - Patrick...died in 1974 in Bellshill
1907 - Catherine...died in 1996 in Cambuslang
1909 - Mary
1912 - Joseph
1914 - Archibald
1917 - John...died in 1931 in Cambuslang
1920 - Edward...died in 2007 in Cambuslang

Just for ref, the Renfrew births showing are:

1901 - Margaret McCurdy
1904 - Emma Johnston
1905 - Emma Adelaide
1907 - Mary Ann McCurdy
1910 - Annie Hotchkiss
1911 - James McCurdy

Parents for these children may have been an Alexander Mitchell and Maggie McCurdy who married in Renfrew in 1891.

Rosie provided earlier the likely family entry in 1921. Again from the general index, this looks like them in Cambuslang in 1911:

Joseph 35
Mary 21
Patrick 5
Kate 3

You do need to look at the original image on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for the full entry.
