Hi Anne its me again wondering if you can do an 1881 census lookup on the other side of my family tree. I have a John Ferguson who married an Elizabeth Sullivan/Sulivan on the 26/8/1868. I know they had a son Thomas Ferguson born on 5/1/1880 in the St Marys Dundee I am just trying to see how many other children they had by the 1881 census. Many Thanks Betty

Thank you Anne for having another look at place of birth of James Scott, as you say our ancestors could make it hard :-) Appreciate your assistance. Bye for now Helen

Hi Helen That's the only place of birth the census has. It's possible that he put his place of birth down different from 1871 on the census forms when he filled them out at the time. I have found this to be the case when researching my own family. Anne

Hi Anne, Thank you for the info, I now have two more rellies I new nothing about. Julie

wow thank you Anne. Thanks for finding Duncan Thomson on 1881 as well . That really is a great help Cheers GLoria

Hi Ann Thanks for the help. Julie

Hello again Anne, many thanks for your information regarding my SCOTT family in Barony, Glasgow. Sorry to be a pest but could you check James SCOTT head 53 years place of birth again. In 1871 census he lists it as Linlithgow, Bo'ness, West Lothian, however on this 1881 census it is Glasgow Lanark. I am hoping that this is a mistake as my research has been in the Bo'ness area. I apologise taking up so much of your time. Many thanks Helen.

Anne, Thank you for your help. Best Wishes, Marion

Hi Anne, Yes you were very, very busy there, I was watching but you are very quick at searching with the discs.. Thank you so much for all the information on the two families, this is the correct one I went away off at one point, so many Dye families in Dundee but I am sure this one is correct. Many Thanks Betty
