      2. ALEXANDER MCFARLANE Christening: 02 MAY 1841 East Parish, Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland
      3. ELIZABETH LONGWILL MCFARLANE Birth: 13 NOV 1848 East Parish, Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland
      4. JANET MCFARLANE Christening: 19 OCT 1846 East Parish, Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland

      8. JOHN MCFARLANE Christening: 27 FEB 1831 West Or Old Parish, Greenock, Renfrew, Scotland

      2 - This looks to be the family in the 1841 Census in Greenock West, Renfrewshire. Everyone showing as born in the county apart from parents and John age 10:

      Alexr. McFarlane, age 30-34, Carpenter, b. Scotland
      Ann, age 30-34, b. Scotland
      John, 10, b. Scotland
      Christina, 8
      George, 6
      Mary Ann, 4
      Alexr, 2 months
      Agnew Howie, female servant, age 15-19, b. Scotland.

      Address: Regent Street, Greenock West.

      A couple of points on the 1841 census. Everyone's age for those over 15 was supposed to be rounded down to the nearest 5, children under 15 are supposed to show their actual age. Those born outside the County of the Census, simply show Scotland.
