Does anyone have access to the 1851 census images for Alloa? I found the following entry for on ancestry:
Alloa, East Vennel ED 5, page 49, household 221, line 14 Andrew Mitchell 30 head Alloa Joiner (empy 4 Men) Jean Mitchell 30 wife Alloa James Mitchell 27?? son Alloa ?? Murray Mitchell 9 dau Alloa scholar Robert?? Mitchell 8 dau Alloa scholar Catherine Mitchell 6 dau Alloa scholar Jean Mitchell 4 dau Alloa Mary Mitchell 2 dau Alloa Euphemia Miller 16 son?? Dunse, Berwickshire
Obviously some of these are mistranscribed. I'm trying to match this family up with the one I found in 1861:
Andrew Mitchell 40 head Alloa Joiner 4 Men & 2 App Johan Mitchell 40 wife Alloa Jane M Mitchell 19 dau Alloa Janet Mitchell 18 dau Alloa Cathrine Mitchell 16 dau Alloa Joan Mitchell 14 dau Alloa Mary Mitchell 12 dau Alloa scholar James Mitchell 10 son Alloa scholar Susan Mitchell 4 dau Alloa scholar
If this helps, these are OPR entries up to 1855 for the births/christenings of their children. Mother is down as either Jean/Joan Preston:
1. JANE MURRAY MITCHELL Birth: 13 APR 1841/ Christening: 16 MAY 1841 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland 2. JANET MITCHELL Birth: 03 SEP 1842/ Christening: 13 SEP 1842 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland 3. CATHARINE MITCHELL Birth: 13 SEP 1844/ Christening: 06 OCT 1844 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland 4. JOAN MITCHELL Birth: 26 JUL 1846/ Christening: 16 AUG 1846 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland 5. MARY MITCHELL Birth: 25 JUN 1848/ Christening: 23 JUL 1848 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland 6. JAMES MITCHELL Birth: 07 FEB 1851/ Christening: 23 MAR 1851 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland 7. SUSAN PRESTON MITCHELL Birth: 03 JUN 1856 Alloa, Clackmannan, Scotland
