ℹ A blended householdWilliam McClure and Mary Ann Pollock married in October 1917. William and Elizabeth were born after the marriage. The four Hendry girls are her children by a Hendry, her first husband. Catherine and Ellen McClure are his children by his first wife, Christina Speirs, who died in 1915. Margaret and Joseph are also from that marriage.
⚠ Margaret and her sonMargaret is 22 and the grandson is Robert Chambers, aged 1. Margaret is probably his mother and married to a Chambers, but the census does not say so. The marriage column for Margaret is hard to read.
ℹ Later recordsJoseph (born 1901) married Mary Ann Ward in 1924 and is Colin's great-grandfather on the McClure side.
⚠ Hard to readThe ages and the birthplace codes were read from a faint image. The row for Sarah has ditto marks for the surname, so Hendry is assumed.
