Slamannan - census lookup
« on: Saturday 22 September 07 16:38 BST (UK) »

I would be grateful for any census information on the following family:

Susanna Reilly Wood born 1826 at Slamannan daughter of William Wood and Mary Main.

Susanna married John Robertson in 1847 at Slamannan and they had at least 4 children born at Slamannan:

Mary Main Robertson b1847
Margaret Hastie Robertson b1850
Susanna Robertson b1853
Jessie Robertson b1855

Susanna Reilly Wood died in 1867 at Slamannan, so what I am trying to find out is whether she had any other children and also what happened to the children.

1851 Blinkbony Row, Slamannan, Stirlingshire

John Robertson    Head     30     Shoemaker    b. Slamannan
Susan Wood        Wife       23                          b. Slamannan
Mary M. Robertson  Dau.   3                                 ditto
Margt. Robertson    Dau.   1                                 ditto
Arde Robertson      Lodger  22    Shoemaker   b. Donliton, Lanark
Janet Williams        Servant   12

1861 Blinkbonnie, Slamannan

John Robertson    Head    40    Shoemaker emp. 2 men   b. Slamannan
Susanna Robertson  Wife  34                                                 ditto
Mary M. Robertson   Dau.   13                                                ditto
Margaret H. Robertson  Dau.  11                                           ditto
Jessie Robertson     Dau.  5                                                   ditto
+ 2 lodgers

1871 Bank Street, Slamannan

John Robertson     Head    Wdr.    48   Shoemaker emp. 1 man
Jessie Robertson   Dau.   15

So, it looks as if dau. Susanna had died by 1861 and no further children were born.   I couldn't find Mary and Margaret in 1871 so both could have well married by then.

Hi Andrew,

I found the folllowing in the pre-1855 (East Stirlingshire) MI book for Slamannan Churchyard. I don't know whether the stones are still there or legible.

(Stone is described as an obelisk)

William Wood died at Glen (dilrigg) 21.8.1842 aged 54
His wife Mary Main died 28.5 185(1 or 7)
Stone erected by friends in Slamannan & Falkirk

According to the book, there is another stone next to this one and the description/inscription is as follows:

(Flat Stone under bush)

William Wood of Townhead & Mosscastle . . . . gds . . .
. . . . James Wood . . . . Susanna Alison . . . . . James . . . . son of James & Susanna Weir
