John married Anne Maria Jane Kerr in 1882 in Dumbarton, Dumbarton, Scotland. (Anne Maria Jane Kerr was born on 4 Sep 1860 in Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland.)

  Marriage Notes:

The 1891 British census was conducted in about April. Every page contained this header. Those items which did not apply were supposed to have a line drawn through them, but they were often just left blank. In the transcripts which follow, any items left blank in the original have not been entered.

Also on every page were the following column headings. These are represented by numbers in the transcripts as there was not room on the page to copy them all. The columns labelled "No. of Schedule;" "Road, Street, &c., and No. or Name of House" and "Rooms with one or more windows" are at the beginning of each entry to save space as there was only one entry per family in each column. The columns headed "Gaelic or G. & E." and "Whether: 1. Deaf and Dumb. 2. Blind. 3. Lunatic, Imbecile, or Idiot" rarely had entries for any of the Coubroughs. When they did, this is noted in the "notes section at the end of each entry.

Myrna's Note: John and Annie's home was at least a "duplex" as the family immediately before John and Annie was also at 210 Highstreet. The two before that were separate addresses, but I didn't see page 12 of the record, so I can't say exactly how many families lived in the building.
