If this is the 1881 Census record you are talking about, it shows the family came from Co. Down. However, the father'e name is given as John, and it is one of the children who is named Samuel: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dwelling: 9 Petersburn Census Place: New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland Source: FHL Film 0203697 GRO Ref Volume 651-2 EnumDist 12 Page 3 Marr Age ancestor_gender Birthplace John MACGOWAN M 41 M Down Co, Ireland Rel: Head Occ: Ironstone Miner Mary MACGOWAN M 38 F Fermanagh Co, Ireland Rel: Wife Martha MACGOWAN 8 F Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland Rel: Daur Occ: Scholar Bella MACGOWAN 6 F Drumgelloch, Lanark, Scotland Rel: Daur Occ: Scholar Samuel MACGOWAN 5 M Drumgelloch, Lanark, Scotland Rel: Son Elisabeth MACGOWAN 2 F Drumgelloch, Lanark, Scotland Rel: Daur William MACGOWAN 6 m M Petersburn, Lanark, Scotland Rel: Son David MACGOWAN U 48 M Down Co, Ireland Rel: Brother Occ: Ironstone Miner

Further to the above, it's a pity you don't know the name of any other member of the family, or where they were living in Scotland, or how their names were spelt, as it would then be much easier to help you. For now, I'll add these two possibilities, as the spelling of the surname may have been changed a bit in Scotland: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dwelling: Drumgelloch Census Place: New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland Source: FHL Film 0203697 GRO Ref Volume 651-2 EnumDist 13 Page 19 Marr Age ancestor_gender Birthplace Samuel MC GOWAN M 42 M Down Co, Ireland Rel: Head Occ: Coal Miner Mary MC GOWAN M 28 F Lanark, Scotland Rel: Wife Mary MC GOWAN U 11 F M...
