I'm trying to location more information on my 4th great grandparents John Megone (born around 1817) and his wife Agnes Galbraith (born around 1822).

I've hit a brick wall.

I can tell from the 1861 Scottish Census, John and Agnes were married and lived together in Castlegate Street in Lanark, Scotland. At the time of the 1861 census they had five living children registered at their address.

1861 Census Ref: 648/ 1/ 20
NAME: JOHN MEGONE SEX: M AGE: 46
NAME: AGNES MEGONE SEX: F AGE: 40
Name: BERNARD MEGONE SEX: M AGE: 15
Name: ARCHIBALD MEGONE SEX: M AGE: 10
Name: JOSEPH MEGONE SEX: M AGE: 8
Name: ELIZABETH MEGONE SEX: F AGE: 5
Name: JOHN MEGONE SEX: M AGE: 3

The census states that they were both born in Ireland but here the trail runs cold. I cannot seem to locate anything on the Irish side for John Megone.

Looking at the birth certificate for one of their later children William Megone (born 5th December 1862). It gives the date of marriage for John and Agnes as 22nd July 1842 in Glasgow. I'm unable to find any other reference to their marriage.

I read that there was a large number of Irish people that moved to Scotland around this time and I'm wondering if anybody is able to suggest a list of additional sources that I might be able to check or provide any assistance in tracking down additional details for John or his wife?

Many thanks!
