Hello, I found 3 records, 1 for a John Sloan or Hoey, 1 for a John Sloan or Sloey and  a third for John Sloey, 2 were for the Govan district of Glasgow and 1 in  Airdrie.    The valuation records only name the head of household and  occasionally an occupation, they do not name the individuals living at that  address, only the rent payer or owner.  Addresses were HOUSE 71 RUTHERGLEN  LOAN, HOUSE 34 WELLINGTON STREET, and HOUSE 53 WELLWYND STREET    AIRDRIE     in order of names above. Interestingly the only Slowey, Sloey births that I could find in Lanarkshire in  1864 and 1866 were not the parents you give, but to a Patrick and Mary Ann, and  Thomas and Bridget.  I'd tried to find the births to see which district of  Glasgow they were living in.  However, came to naught as I couldn't find either  of the births.    Couldn't find them under any other name variation that I  tried either. Sorry that I haven't been of any help............  cheers ..
