I was curious about this Crosshill since you say Crosshill, Renfrew. The only Crosshill I know of is in the south side of Glasgow. I`m not sure what area it would come under since its currently between two main roads - Victoria Road which didn`t exist 1881.( It was a previous road renamed after a visit from Queen Victoria to the city sometime after this census. ) and Cathcart Road. It may have come under Cathcart district in this time period. The nearest area which does appear on modern maps is Govanhill.

Searches of old maps have not revealed this place, so I'm hoping some kind person with local knowledge can tell me if Crosshill was a hamlet, parish or ? and does it still exist? > > Regards, > > Mary McLaren > B.C .

Hi there, Cathcart was originally under Renfrew, therefor if Crosshill was part of Cathcart it may well have been included. There is also a Crosshill in Ayrshire between Maybole & Dailly.
