The good thing I've found that Catherine is her 3rd child (all girls) according to the brith registration, I just need to find out who the other one was as I'm aware that one will be my 3rdx grandmother Elizabeth, 1851&1861 census doesn't show the other sister though,

So I have to assume that's she's born sometime between 1851 and 1855 and possibly dies between 1855-1861

According to the 1861 census, Susan was born in Ireland.
This looks like it is her before marriage in 1841

her brother Robert is also with her in 1851.

Had a look at that, That's not her brother, If I look at the 1851 census she has a Peter Wade (spelling) aged 17 living with her, I'll assume that's her brother as it ties in with the details on the registration of the birth in Dundee in 1837,

However, once again the mother's details are absent from the register

It would have been good if the document was legible as it would have at least given me a lead on where the family come from in Ireland

Brother is showing as Robert on the 1841 and 1851 censuses, not Peter  Not sure about an occupation showing for the 5 yr old Robert in 1841! This is one entry where looking at the original image on SP would help to clarify.

You could follow through on Sarah's 2 sisters, Catherine and Elizabeth. I think this is them in 1851:

James Mckay 35 Old Clothes Broker b. Ireland
Elizabeth Mckay 25 b. Ireland
Isabella Mckay 6 b. Glasgow
James Mckay 4 b. Glasgow
Ann Knox 18 servant b. Glasgow
Catherine Wade 16 Sister-in-law, House Servant, b. Glasgow

Address 36 Bridgegate Street, Glasgow

Susan Wade had the following siblings

•   Eliza / Elizabeth born in Ireland abt 1828
•   Robert born in Glasgow in 1832
•   Catherine born in Glasgow abt 1835


Elizabeth Wade married James McKay
This is her in 1851 (Note her younger sister Catherine in with her.)

There is a death for an Elizabeth (Wade) McKay died in 1890 Bridgeton. Age 59
Mother’s maiden name is Duncan in the index. The certificate is needed to know full parent info.


Robert Wade’s baptism can be found on Scotlands People in the Roman Catholic Register
WADE   ROBERT   
parents - ROBERT WADE / CATHERINE DUNCAN   
MALE   10/3/1832   
23/3/1832         GLASGOW, ST ANDREW'S

I have not yet looked to see what became of the sister Catherine.

I think probably both parents died between Catherine’s birth and the 1841 census, which is why you see 8 yr old Robert working in the tobacco trade in the 1841 census.
Remember that ages in the 1841 census were rounded down.
