Quick census lookup request: Don family - COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 10 February 08 22:20 GMT (UK) »

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

1871

James Don 37 Head Nursery Propagator b Madderty, Perth
Catherine wife 32 b Newburgh, Fifes   
Catherine dau 2 b Broty Ferry, Fifes 
John J  son 1 b Dundee
Catherine Don Mother in law 66 b Muthil, Per 

Parish St Andrew 28 Line 1

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 Grin
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?
