NotesIn 1881, the family was shown residing at 163 Crownpoint Street, Glasgow Barony, Lanarkshire, Scotland. Family members included at that time: James Devlin, 33, Iron Work Laborer; Jessie Devlin, 33; Mary Devlin, 3; Margaret Devlin, 13; and Sarah Devlin, 5. (Source: 1881 Census of Scotland; Parish: Glasgow Barony; ED: 57; Page: 3; Line: 4; Roll: cssct1881_218; Year: 1881.)

Mary, Sarah and James Devlin were sent to Quarriers Home at Bridge of Weir in 1888. They had lost their mother to complications of childbirth and their father to his having been kicked by a horse.

In 1889, James Devlin, 7 (along with sisters, Mary Devlin, 11 and Sarah Devlin, 13) arrived at Quebec, Canada, in a group of 123 Quarrier children en route to the Distributing Home for Scottish Children, Fairknowe, Brockville, Ontario, Canada.

In 1891, James Devlin, 9, was shown as a domestic to Wm. W. and Prisilla A. Halliday of Wolford, Leeds and Grenville North, Ontario, Canada.

James Devlin was found to be diabetic and was returned to Scotland where he died. He is buried at Quarriers Home at Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
