Shanks/Alcorn - census lookup
« on: Tuesday 15 August 06 18:06 UTC (UK) »

I would be grateful if someone could locate Maggie Shanks in the 1881 census.  She was born around 1866 in Portpatrick and may have been living with her aunt, Agnes Alcorn, at the time of the census.

Hi Jean

Thanks very much for looking up this information for me.

I wonder whether the census records anyone else living at this address?
