Find Ancestors

I've got an hour spare and fed up with my elusive lot, so happy to do any look ups on 1881 Scotland census. Please give me as much info as possible. NB: if you post request later on tonight, I won't be around the boards for a couple of days as away on business, so be patient, I will get back to you. Regards Ellen.

Only John and Catherine Orr together in Paisley: Dwelling: 42 Gt Hamilton St Census Place: Abbey, Renfrew, Scotland Source: FHL Film 0203585 GRO Ref Volume 573 EnumDist 100 Page 15 Marr Age Sex Birthplace John ORR M 21 M Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland Rel: Head Occ: General Labourer Catherine ORR M 22 F Tyree, Argyll, Scotland Rel: Wife Archibald ORR 5 M Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland Rel: Son Occ: Scholar George ORR 2 M Paisley, Renfrew, Scotland Struggling with Samuel and Agnes. Can you give me some ballpark idea of their ages or where they might have been born. There's a Samuel Reid with wife Annie and two boys 3 and 1yrs. Let me know if you have any further info on them and I can do a better search. cheers Ellen.

Can't find a Samuel and Agnes together in Old Monklands. Here's the Samuel and Annie one, plus there's this Samuel Reid, Married, but with his parents and siblings on the night of the census with no wife and kids - could this be him?

Hi Janice John & Helen Stewart - none at Boyndie. Banffshire, several couples - would help if I had a ballpark idea of ages. I'm assuming you are looking for man and wife. Any of these perhaps? If any fit I'll get the rest of the family and details for you. John/Helen Stewart ages 77/81 @ Gamrie John/Helen Stewart ages 62/59 @ Keith John/Helen Stuart ages 62/55 @ Rathven John P and Helen F Stuart ages 48/34 @ Mortlach. Struggling with Alexander and Elizabeth. some idea of ages/birthplaces would help a better search. Only 2 x Robert Petries in Elgin or Moray. 1 aged 25 one aged 26. If you can give me any more info on any of them I'll look further for you. Cheers Ellen.

Hi Ellen Do you have any information on James Jardine married to Jean Allan (Allen) possibly living at 49 West Thornlie Street, Wishaw? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Marcia

Ellen Is it searchable by address? If so could you look up 151 Quarry Street, Hamilton for me, please - I'm interested in all teh families in there as we're trying to put together a history of our tenement. If its only searchable by name its a few doors along from teh Royal Hotel which was being run by Daniel Smith in 1894. Fingers crossed Zoe

I hope you are still available for look ups I'm trying to trace an Ann Williamson born Sept 1875 in the stirling area. She was married to a William Braes of Linlithgow bridge in 1890

Hi Zoe and Marcia Not good news for either of you at this stage I'm afraid. Zoe, its searchable by name, but once have the name can get neighbours all round about. But no trace of Daniel Smith in 1881. If you get hold of any other names for round about in the course of your research I'm happy to look them up. Marcia - I need a bit more to go on if possible. Am I looking for 21 yr olds or 81 yr olds? Any idea where they were born? There are no James/Jean Jardines living in Wishaw on 1881, but if you can give me some more info I can find out where they are for you. Cheers Ellen.

Loops Me again You've got me interested now! Was the 1890 marraige in England? I can't find it on Scotlandspeople for 1890 to 1900. Ellen.

Hi Ellen, Could you please look for William and Agnes Chippington living in Lanark. Regards Cherryl

Hello Ellen. Is it possable to find Edwin Logan Rich And Marion Tervit when they gor married they lived I believed in Carrenshore Falkirk or any information. Vanessa

Vaness/Cherryl No trace of yours I'm afraid. It would really help if I had some idea of ages, even just a ballpark figure. Also if you know general birth area. Regards Ellen. Vanessa - Look further down - I have some info for you.

Hello there Ellan, when you get the chance and if it's not too much bother, will you please look for John kirkwood 54 born Borony, wife Margaret 58,Elizabeth 18. Elizabeth was born Bridgeton, They may have been in Dalserf area in 1881. Dont spend too much time on it, as I know it's not a lot to go on. Thank's again Marion

Thank you very much You have solved a family problem that has been there for 3 years. Yours miriam abbott

Vanessa These two families are a bit bonkers in terms of ages for the Edwin & Marion to be married, but it seems too much of a coincidence when both names are pretty unusual in Scotland. They are just along the road from each other. Maybe the other names/ages make sense to you!

Hello Ellen, I've probably missed you tonight, but there's no panic anyway for these. Just three rellies I'd like to find in the Scottish 1881 - all from the same village of Walkerburn in Peeblesshire. Newly married James Davidson 22 and wife Mary 26; James's brother Walter Davidson 26; and their cousin Robert Turner and wife Margaret 29. Thanks so much, Gordon.
