Hi Emma
Please don't worry about the variant spelling of names --Helen--Ellen and even Nellie, Nelly were not unusual for Helen.

I have now put the Occupation and where born on the 1891 and 1901 census --hope this helps a bit --John seems to have not only "aged" a few years between 1891 and 1901 (from 40 to 54 ) but also changed his occupation.
Also has no Lizzie on 1891-but has a William and vice versa on 1901 !!

All other things seem to fit--but if you think they are the wrong family I will take another look.

Ah wonder if this is William in 1901 ??? not sure of though

Hello Barbara,

I can't thank you enough for the information, it will definately assist me with my research. I see one thing that has possibly caused me confusion in my search and that is the name variant between Helen Robertson & Ellen Robertson!

Once again, thank you so much for you help!

Kindest Regards
Emma

Hi Emma
Sorry there are no "images" on Scotlands Census so no other details

You will have to buy Credits for Scotland People to look for Birth Marriages and Deaths

All the best

I seem to have come to a dead end in tracing relatives on the Leitch & Robertson side of my family.
My Great Grandmother was Catherine Mary Leitch Born in Muthill, Perth in 1883 and Dscd Abt.1974. her parents according to her birth cert. were John Leitch & Helen Robertson, however, I have so far been unable to trace any info on them. Any help would be appreciated!
Kind Regards
