1841 census for dumfries/ thomson
« on: Friday 18 November 05 05:53 GMT (UK) »
Could some one please look up the 1841 census for me for the following family:

David Thomson   Head    born  1792-1800?
Jannet                 Wife     born   1792- 1800?
henrietta              daug   born 1817 ( married in 1830)
martha                 daug   born 1820
Robert                  son      born 1822
William Douglas    son      born 1825
mary                     daug    born 1828
Janet                     daug    born 1830


i am trying to find out where David Thomson and Jannet were born. I have the  PRS film of Dumfries out at the moment but it shows me 2 david thomson.

Ihave found no  Jannet Douglas, in fact no Douglas family at all ,so i think she must have been born not in dumfries, dumfries.

Maybe the 1841 census may shed some light. If any one can help that would be great.

Kind regards

Hi Jean,

I've got an index for 1841.  I'll have a look.

There is no guarantee that the family are together the ages in 1841 are a bit older.

There are 2 David Thomsons in Dumfries both are 2 young I'm afraid.

One David was 22 a cotton hand loom weaver Ed: 19 p:16 Brasswell.

Other people in this household with name Thomson are Margaret age 60, Jannet age 30 ag lab,

The other David was 25 a joiner ED:9 p:17 Friar's Vennel. 

Other people in this household with name Thomson are Margaret age 45, James 20 a cabinet journeyman, John 50 grocer & publican, Robert 13, William 16.

So assuming David may be dead or away looking for Jan(n)ets of the right age.

There is one age 60 at Castle St ED:6 p:9.  She is born in Scotland but outside of the county.

Other people in this household with name Thomson are Alexander 20 born outside county, James 60 writer born outside county, Jessie 20 born outside county.

Moving through the children.  Was Henrietta really married at 13?

Who did she marry I could look for her in 1841 if I had the new surname.

There are no Martha Thomsons.

Two Robert's of interest.

One Robert age 18 a tinsmith App. at Loreburn Street ED: 7 p:26.

Other people in this household with name Thomson are Jannet 10, Margaret 2, Rebbecca 40 bn Ireland.

The other Robert age 20 ag servant Carthajenia ED: 18 p: 2

No other people in this household with name Thomson.

The only William of the right age is the one mentioned above at Friar's Vennel.

There are a few Mary's and Janets but they are in houses with different apparent parents.

Sorry I couldn't find them  Cry

If you give me the married name of Henrietta I'll look for her.

Cheers,
Pam

Dear Pam,

I am very silly!!!

henrietta got married to John Harvey 12 Dec 1835 in Gorbals.

I must of been having a senior's moment when I wrote that she was married in 1830. Sorry.

thanks for looking up your 1841 index for me.

I will have to have a good think about where I go from here. I was hoping to find Douglas and Janet on a census which would show me just where they were born.

Any way that is not your problem.

So once again many thanks for your help.

Kind regards
