Joan,
I've just re-read my posting, and I haven't worded it well at all. Please accept my apology, I certainly didn't mean to cause offence.
Do you have any census returns for Thomas McGregor & Catherine Livingstone ? If not, here they are living in Glasgow in 1841. The street is given as Main Street, which I believe will be Main Street in the Bridgeton area of the city (of Glasgow). Everyone in the household except the youngest child Duncan is listed as being born outwith Lanarkshire.
Ages of adults on the 1841 census were very often rounded down to the nearest 5 years, and this may well be the case here. It was also very common in the 1841 census for females to be listed by their maiden name.
