David McCreath married Margaret Allan at Paisley on 16 January 1843.

David was a Tobacco Spinner. The family resided at 18 William Street, Glasgow.

He died on 1 March 1901, age 81and was survived by his wife, Margaret.

The informant was Sarah McCreath, daughter-in-law.  His father’s details are consistent. Those of wife are given as Jane McCreath (ms  Munro). Other evidence suggests this as an error of memory.

In 1891, the family is listed at 12 Canning Street, Calton  as:

David McCreath        72    Head    Tobacco Spinner

Margaret McCreath   69     Wife

Charles McCreath     28     Son     Paper Ruler
