Hi, I sure hope someone can help me.............. I can't seem to find James McAulay/McAuley/McCulie born about 1817 Glasgow. Wife Jane born 1816 Glasgow, daughter Jane -1842, Son John - 1847 and son William - 1849. Address in 1861 was Glasgow, St John - 29 Tylefield St Lanarkshire.
Thank you,
Ann

Searched 'A' using all your name variations plus a few others, but nothing suitable came up. Using William, the youngest, as pretty sure would be with his family, entered all family details, but no surname, and above were about sixth in the list.

Hi Pandad|bowdown|
This is them!!! Thank you so much. The last name for this family seems to be differnet with every census. Very confusing..........I thought I had tried all the name variences, but you came up with a new one!
Thanks again,
Ann

Just what I thought, but, the surname may not be correct because you do not see actual images of Scottish Census on 'A', only data they have transcribed and indexed. For confirmation might be worth trying to view an actual image.
