Hi
Was wondering if anybody would mind doing a lookup for me in the 1881 census

Any help would be appricated.

Hi Vinnie

Do you want a check on David Ross or the children of David and Helen (could possible get this via IGI). It's just that there are 39 David Ross in Angus and I'd like to help but don't know where or what his age is  Undecided

Hi Vinnie,

This is only a possibility - do you have her marriage certificate to confirm her father's possible occupation?

8 Viewfield Place, Dunfermline, Fife
GROS 424 ED 4 p5
David Ross Head M 29 b Dunfermline, Fife Coachman (Domestic servant)
Helen Ross Wife M 31 b Dunfermline, Fife coachman's wife
Helen Ross  daughter 4 b Dunfermline, Fife
James Ross son 3 Dunfermline, Fife
David Ross son 2 b Dunfermline, Fife
Alexander Ross son   3 m b Dunfermline, Fife

This is possibly David Ross and Helen Ramage - they married in 1873 in Dunfermline.

There is a Helen Ross aged 4 born in Aberdeen living with her widowed grandmother Helen Ross in Aberdeen.  No parents with her.  However, on further investigation, Helen Ross senior is probably the widow of a William Ross.

The IGI does not show Helen's birth and a check of children with the parents David Ross and Helen McGregor does come up with a Helen - born in 1863 in Banff.  However, if she was born in 1876, I would not expect it to be included.

I think you need to view the birth certificate.
