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.

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.
