This lot of McCluskey's are a bit of a mystery to me, I can't seem to find a connection to any of my McCluskeys of which there are many.
I have found on the 1911 scottish census one of my 2nd cousins , Henry McCluskey
b.1900 living with Edward b 1888 and his wife christina at 68, Dale Street showing that Henry is their son which means that Edward would have been 12 when Henry was born .
I know for a fact that Henry's parents are Peter McCluskey and Margaret McDonald, she died in 1908 and Henry and his 2 brothers were given to family members.
Henry married in 1926 and his marriage certificate shows his address as 68, Dale Street with parents Peter and Margaret.
There must be some sort of connection with this Edward mcCluskey but for the life of me I cannot find it.
Hope you can understand all this .

I have found Edward and Agnes marriage in gorbals in 1884 showing his father as Edward , occupation Shoefitter and mother Rebecca .

I see that Edward and Christina married in 1909

1909 MCCLUSKEY EDWARD GRAY CHRISTINA GORBALS GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/17 0226

Have you looked at the original of the 1911 census -
a) is Henry aged 11 which would give a birth year of 1900 or has his age been mistranscribed and perhaps is aged months not years
or
is Christina older than Edward and Henry is her son?

Are you sure that this Henry is the one that is being looked after by relatives or is he elsewhere?

Perhaps I've answered myself - there is a birth of a Henry Gray McCluskey in the Gorbals RD in 1910 - so perhaps mistranscribed age is the answer

1910 MCCLUSKEY HENRY GRAY M GORBALS GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/17 0025

You will be able to view the birth certificate online to check parents but the middle name of Gray would perhaps suggest the correct birth. Does this Henry show on the census? I'm afraid I don't have enough spare credits to be using the full 5 to look at the 1911 census or full birth certificate myself.

greyghost,
How clever of you.
Looked again at the 1911 and studying it very carefully you are quite right.
it shows Henry's age as 12 and just under that the word months, so he was born in 1910 , so Edward and his family may or may not be connected to my mcCluskeys, it just seemed a bit of a coincidence that they are living at 68, Dale Street in 1911 the same address as my Henry's marriage in 1925.
One of my Henry's brother ,Peter age 6 was living with my grandad in Teviot Street, Glasgow and his other brother Charles aged 12 living in Carrick street with his maternal grandmother , his father Peter i think i have found living in a men's model in Partick, Glasgow going by age and occupation.

There is 1 Henry age 11 living in Camlachie district in what looks like a boys school or institution, but how can i tell if this is my Henry.?

Thanks for your help, I would still be searching for the McCluskey connection.
