Also sister in law, Agnes Hamilton and visitor Ann Aitchison. Let me know which one you think might be yours and I'll type up the full details for you. Regards Ellen.

Janet Sorry, no sign of Jane Robina Stewart, and too many Jane Stewarts to pinpoint her without some further info. If you know they married in Govan, do you have the cert, and therefore her parents names? Regards Ellen.

Hi Carla Jessie McNab and family. Unfortunately I'm in the processing of changing PCs and my disc is loaded on the other one, so cannot just copy, cut and paste. Poor old typing fingers!

Dawn I can not look up by address, but in any case there is no Isabella Pirie or Phillips at that address. There are only a few Isabella Piries in Aberdeen on the 1881, so if you can give me some more details I can try to pinpoint which one is her. eg; date or place of birth; husbands christian name and or occupation. Regards Ellen.

Hello everyone My apologies, I did not realise anyone had posted on this thread this year! There are lots of others offering look ups, so I was happy to let them have a turn. I'll get onto these now. Regards Ellen.

could you find a William SIMPSOM b 1848 Lanark please? Thanks GLoryer

Hi Ellen Would you please be able to look up the following for me: Jessie McNab b c 1880 in Perthshire. Her parents were William McNab and Jane. Not a lot to go on I'm afraid but hopefully enough. Thanks so much. Carla

Could you look for Jane Robina Stewart (her husbands dob is 1877 so hers could be around the same time). They married in Govan, Glasgow so this is where she maybe from although her husband is from Drymen. Could I be very cheeky and ask you to look for Alexander KEIR. in 1871 he is living at Blackhouse Farm with his brother and his brothers family. It states he is married. In 1881 he is not with his brother. His dob is abt 1824/26, Drymen area Alexander KEIR - have found him in 1881. thanks Many thanks

Can you help me please? I am looking to see who lived at 53 Virginia Street, Aberdeen in the 1881 census. Hopefully it will be Phillips or Pirie. My husbands g grandfather lived there is 1873 when he married. his surname was phillips, but his mother Isabella remarried to mr pirie. I assume Isabella had other children, but dont know if they were phillips or piries. Thankyou Dawn

Hi Cath Was confused at first - looking for him born Lanark (the town), but he was bron in Glasgow, Lanarkshire. I think this is him, although the age is slightly out. there are no other possibles, and the occupation is right. Here are his parents and brothers also, still at Burnside Street (which is how I found out he was born Glasgow, not Lanark!)

Hey Ellen Sons name was John Robertson married to Jane Ann Ross. They are living in Brackla near Janes parents. The address on Chritina's death cert is Harriet Field and the informer is a daughter called Jane. I do not know anything about Jane because the first i heard of her was when i got Christina's death cert. Hope that helps Mhairi

Okay folks - not much luck tonight I'm afraid. Jackie: No William or George Parfreys born Scotland anywhere on the UK 1881, Scotland or anywhere else. Either out of the country or very badly mistrancribed. Alan - too many John M(a)cKays (over 200 born 1875 +/- 5 years alone). None John D M(a)cKay. Checked scotlandspeople and cannot find a birth either. Will need more info to help you. Mhairi - what was Christina's son's name? Several possibles, but nothing can tie down. If I can find her son and wife, I can work from there. Regards Ellen.

Alan, Donald, Mhairi Will be home tomorrow night (Wednesday) and wil do these look ups then for you. Regards Ellen.

Hey Ellen, hoping to be lucky with this search too Christina Robertson c1806. May be with a William Robertson (Farmer) c1800. Both where alive in 1880 according to their sons marriage cert. Christina died a widow in 1883. Thier sons marriage was in Brackla, Christina died in Logiealmond. Thanks for the help Mhairi

Hi Ellen, Thank you for your kind offer. I am trying to find the whereabouts for two Parfreys in 1881 - William Henry Parfrey who was married in Lanarkshire 1872 and George Thomas Parfrey born 1873 in Hamilton, Lanark, Scotland. No sign of them on 1881 England census - thank you so much. Best wishes, Jackie
