Hello,
I'm trying to find the ancestors of John James Don and his parents, James Cooper Don and Catherine Robertson, and hope someone can help me by please posting the censuses in which they are present.
(The family seem to be from both Angus and Fife but because John James Don was born in Angus I decided on posting it here)
Someone already posted this for me before:
1901 Address: James Square, Forgan, Fife
John J Don 31, blacksmith, b. Dundee Angus
Euphemia Don 31, b. Fife, Dairsie
James C Don 6, b. Fife, Newport
John J. Don was my ancestor and his parents according to IGI Extracted were:
JOHN JAMES DON
Birth: 28 MAR 1870 Dundee, Angus, Scotland
Father: JAMES COOPER DON
Mother: CATHERINE ROBERTSON
Thanks

All surnames transcribed as Daw
Catherine 66 recorded as mother in law which seems odd but can't access image to check
Think James' age is recorded incorrectly but can't access image to check - should be 27

Great thanks 
Your help has allowed me to go back a generation on several lines!
It turns out they weren't from Angus at all!
PS: do you know if James Cooper Don & wife Catherine are still around in 1901?
