John Rogan was born about 1860 in Ireland to Mary Docherty (c1840 - 1873) and William Rogan (c1837 - 1896). [See Section RG-6-1 for family background.]
Agnes Lavery was born on Friday, March 23, 1860 at 58 Foundry Square, Gallowgate, Glasgow to Mary McManus (c 1826 - before 1905) and Peter Lavery, Labourer (c1831 - before 1905). [See above for family background.]

The celebrant was Fr. John Murphy and the witnesses were Adam Galloway [a neighbour of the Rogans at Clyde Iron Works in 1881] and Maggie Lavrie [probably Agnes's sister].
The event is also recorded in the Register of Marriages at St. Paul's —
"John Rogan & Agnes Lavery were married by me after due proclamation of banns on the 3rd day of February 1886 in presence of Adam Gallaway and Maggie Laverie. John Murphy."I wonder which date is correct.
John and Agnes had the following children (that I know of) —
Charles born in 1886 at 8 Comely Park Street, Dennistoun, last sighting 1911. Mary born in 1888 in Lightburn, Shettleston, last sighting 1911. Margaret born in 1890 in Lightburn, Shettleston, last sighting 1911. Peter born in 1895 at 32 Back Square, Tollcross, last sighting 1911. Agnes born in 1899 at 46 Easterhill Street, Tollcross, last sighting 1901. Catherine born in 1901 at 46 Easterhill Street, Tollcross and died in 1983. which tallies with the 1911 census count.

Her birth was registered No.280 at Shettleston on September 1 by John Rogan, Father, Present.
1891 April 3 Despite the discrepancy in the ages, I'm pretty sure that this is our John and Agnes in Lightburn in a house with one windowed room.

All the adults seem to have lost about 10 years off their ages. In the entry for Maggie Lavery, "step-sister" is an old term for sister-in-law.
1901 Catherine Rogan was born at 4h0m a.m. on Sunday, June 23 at 46 Easterhill Street, Tollcross to Agnes Rogan m.s. Lavery and John Rogan, Blast Furnaceman who married on February 2, 1886 at Shettleston. Her birth was registered No.417 at Shettleston on July 3 by John Rogan, Father.

John's age should be nearer 54 but is clearly 64 in the enumerator's book. Likewise, Agnes was 51.
Agnes was with her Auntie Maggie at 421 Alexandra Parade, Dennistoun in a house with 3 windowed rooms.
