General Notes:
The 1841 census for Wallace town, St Quivox parish, recorded Michael. He was a weaver, aged in the age range 30-34 years, and was born in Ayrshire. Although this census did not specify relationships, the entry suggests he had a wife and three children living with him. This entry was near the 'Thomas and Helan Quigley', his parents' entry.
The 1861 census recorded Michael living at Bryans Land, Elba Street, St Quivox, Ayrshire. He had been born in Ayr. He was a widower aged 56 years, and was a cotton weaver. His son, Thomas, and his daughter, Helen, lived nearby. His son James Quigley, and another son called Michael Turner, lived with him. James was aged 4 years and Michael aged 12 years. Both had been born in St Quivox.
In his marriage certificate when he married Catherine Wright in 1866, his age was recorded as 56 years.
When his son, Michael, married in 1870, Michael senior was recorded as a cotton weaver in his son's marriage certificate.
PARISH RELIEF APPLICATION
In 1878, on 10 December, at 11.10 am, Michael applied for parish relief in Glasgow. He was residing at that time at 4 St Joseph's Place, back, low 1st left, with his son Michael Quigley.
The inspector visited Michael in connection with this application at 11.00 am on 11 December 1878. He was told Michael was a weaver, aged 75 years and married. He had done no work for 4 years and had therefore received no earnings during that time. He was Roman Catholic.
He was applying for assistance because he suffered from bronchitis and had an injured side. Dr Smellie's name was given to verify this . This was Michael's first application, and the settlement was Ayr.
Then details were given of the sequence of his three marriages, and the ages and particulars of his children.

His daughter Helen, aged 48 years, who was born in Ayr, was married to William McCrae, a labourer residing in 516 John St. They had no family.

Michael's second wife was Mary Neil who died in Ayr. His son Michael, aged 30 years, was born from this relatonship. He was married with 4 children. He too was a slater but there was little doing at present. Michael seemed to stay with Michael's family: 'Applicant resides here' was the inspector's comment.
James aged 22 years, born in Ayr, was also Mary's son. He was single, an apprentice slater. He was idle for 12 months, only getting a day occasionally. He resided with John.
