Is someone able to help me with census information for 1851 covering West Lothian? The family I am looking for is: Head: John Grant; Spouse: Mary Baird; child: Marion Grant, christened 15 Jan 1843, Ecclesmachan, West Lothian.
The John Grant I have on my charts was born in 1820/1821 and was a medical doctor. The John Grant listed above may or may not be the same one - I'm crossing my fingers.

The only Marion Grant born 1843 (or anywhere near it) Ecclesmachan appears on 1851 Census with parents James and Mary and James is shown as an Ag. Lab.
Other childrens baptisms all show parents as James Grant and Mary Baird so looks like the John shown on Marion's baptism should in fact be James.

Thanks for looking Annette. It was a bit of a long shot, but this particular family was the closest I could find on the LDS site. My mother's great grandfather was Malcolm Ranney from Topsham Devon, who married Marion Grant from Scotland. Marion was born (according to the 1901 Canadian census) in July 1844 and her father was John Grant (originally from Scotland) who was a surgeon in the Boer War and later an MD in Toronto Ontario, Canada. There's no mention anywhere of Marion's mother so I suspect she probably died young.
Anyway, thank you very much for checking out this census for me. It's one more source I can cross of the list.
Merry Christmas
Steve

Thanks for the info Joe. I thought for a minute you'd stumbled onto my rootsweb tree but the Malcolm born in 1838 has to be from someone else. I'd be interested in knowing where this other information is. The 1838 is definitely wrong but they may have info I can use.
Malcolm was actually born in Bombay, India, as were four of his brothers and sisters - His father, William Parker Ranney, originally from Topsham, was a sea captain with the East India Company. Malcolm's date of birth was 27 November 1829 - He married Marion Grant in two ceremonies - one in Scotland and then weeks later in Toronto, Canada. I've got Malcolm's line traced from the current date right back to his great, great grandfather but I have pretty much nothing on Marion Grant's family other than the fact that her father's name was John, he was a medical doctor and he was born in Scotland and died in Toronto.
Thanks again for looking. If you can find that other info you mentioned, I'd appreciate a link.
Steve
