Thank you so much, Pam. The 1841 family is obviously the right one. William apparently fought in the Peninsular War. I don't think the 1851 lot are mine-none of these Christian names run in the Chalmers family. Unfortunately, Chalmers was a popular name in Fife.
Best wishes,
Elisabeth

Can I ask for some more Chalmers/Chambers in the 1841 Clackmannan census, please? I have found my William, Janet and family on the 1851 census and was astounded to see that in the two houses next door to them at Howtown were John and Betsy Chalmers(b. about 1821 in Clackmannan) and Andrew and Helen Chalmers(b. 1816 Clackmannan). I have no idea who these Chalmers are, but I can't imagine that it is just a coincidence. I think John and Andrew's parents may be David and Margaret Chalmers, so any sightings of these names in 1841 might give me a clue.
Many thanks
Elisabeth

Hi Elizabeth
There are some entries on IGI which might be relevant. To parents David Chalmers and Margaret Harrower:
1. CHARLES CHALMERS Christening: 09 APR 1826 Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland
2. ANDREW CHALMERS Christening: 06 JAN 1816 Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland
3. JOHN CHALMERS Christening: 18 APR 1822 Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland
4. GEORGE CHALMERS Christening: 28 JUN 1818 Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland
5. JANET CHALMERS Christening: 13 FEB 1814 Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland
These are all actual extracts from the OPRs rather than submitted entries.
For father David Chalmers, there are submitted details regarding his birth/marriage:
David Chalmers Birth: About 1787 Of, Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland
Marriages: Spouse: Margaret Harrower Marriage: 08 AUG 1812 Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland

Thank you Monica and Pam. What are the chances of three families of Chalmers being at Devon Iron Works and one not being related, I wonder? Unfortunately, I've already traced the David Chalmers in my lot(William's brother)-he was in Alva in 1841/51 with his family- so I don't know how David Chalmers and Margaret Harrower's family could tie in. Don't start me on Harrowers! My gg grandfather was a Harrower from Clackmannan. Every second surname in Clackmannan is Harrower or Hunter. It's never easy, is it?
Regards,
Elisabeth
