Agnes Rennie
in the 1871 Scotland Census
Name: Agnes Rennie
[Agnes Love]
Age: 15
Estimated birth year: abt 1856
Relationship: Daughter
Father's name: David Love
Mother's name: Christina Love
Gender: Female
Where born: Dumbarton, Dumbartonshire
Registration Number: 562
Registration district: Eastwood
Civil Parish: Eastwood
County: Renfrewshire
Address: 82 Thornliebank
Occupation: Clark Driver Printfield

Household schedule number: 192

Household Members:

David Love 25
Christina Love 23
John Lawrie 32 - boarder
Agnes Rennie 15
Mary Rennie 11


As Agnes and sister Mary are listed after the boarder, I suspect that they are in a different household from the Loves and the boarder, and are not related to the Loves.


EDIT:
Yes, I had a look, and they are a different household. However, in spite of Agnes and Mary being a household on their own, they are both listed as "daughter".
Maybe because they are minors, and not able to be listed as "head" ???

The occupation of both is Cloth Drier Printfield.

Samuel (senior) and Agnes (aka Mary) - marriage:

MENEILLY

Yes, I agree with that, GG.

Here they are in 1901 - Mary senior is again Agnes:

So, I'm looking at this for the 1881 census. Another surname spelling and Mary is Agnes - ? two first names and uses different ones?
