Hey Ellen Few more for you too look up if you have the time. Alexander and Janet/Jessie Hutton (c1830, c1827) living in the Edinburgh area. Thanks again Mhairi

Hi everyone Will do these look ups on Wednesday evening. Am away from home working and don't have the discs with me. Will get back to you all. Regards Ellen.

Hi Ellen, Would you kindly find JAMES HENRETTY (or the like). He would be 25/26 - occupation on marriage cert. (18.11.1879)is Bandsman 50th Reg.L., residing at Edinburgh Castle? His wife Catherine McGarry and daughter were staying with her mother in 1881, so I was just wondering where he went to. Elaine

Hi Judith Only possible family I can find. Mother's name wrong, but Jane variation on Jeannie, and Mary Ann could be Marion? Ages are right.

Elaine Sorry - no sign of James anywhere in UK. There's one James Henretty in Edinburgh, but he is with a wife Barbara and a couple of kids, so presumably is not yours! Perhaps if he was in the forces he was abroad somewhere? Regards Ellen.

Hi Tom Sorry, no luck with your George and Jane - anywhere in Scotland or rest of the UK. There are no Yorkshire born George Partingtons (or Janes) +/- 5 years of 1837/8 on the 1881 at all. Sorry couldn't help. Regards Ellen.

Hi Ellen Thanks for looking Appreciated Tom

Sorry Ellen - gave you the wrong name - so many James' in the family..!!! His name was PETER HENRETTY. My mistake, however, was not in vain - I think the James Henretty you found was his brother - would you please send me what you have on him too. Thanks a million Elaine

HI Elaine Will do when I get home tomorrow. Cheers Ellen.

Elaine No sign of Peter. There's only one Peter Henretty or variation, of any age, in the whole UK. He's an Irish born labourer, b. 1853, living as a boarder in Durham.

Ellen Thanks for your help - you are probably right that Peter was abroad in 1881 - he did turn up later and had two more children. Elaine (also abroad)

Hi Ellen Thanks for the great offer, could you look for a JANET FERGUSON in the Hamilton area of Lanark, she would be a Widow and aged roughly 80-89 (died 1883 Hamilton, aged 90) thank you Carrie

Ellen, I am looking for a Bridget SHANNON on the 1881 census. She will either be in Glasgow or Dundee. She was born in Kings Co. Ireland. Bit confused about her age. Have a application for poor relief dated 1888 where her age is 59, but found here on 1891 census aged 80, so she could be listed as anything between 50-70 on 1881. Expect children Bridget 20yr & James 16yrs to be with her. Thanks in advance, Jim
