Hello,
It would really help if someone could please quickly check the birthplace and occupation of this couple in 1851, and try and find their household in 1861.
1851 Findo-Gask, Perth
William Morris 51
Elisabeth Morris 38
(in 1851 I believe Morris is mistakenly written as Momes on Ancestry)
Thanks a lot,
Regards,
-Tunji

Thank-you Ruskie
It must be my family as the names all match:
Elizabeth (Duncan) Morris, born 1811 Findo-Gask
Elizabeth Fenton Morris, born 1838 Findo-Gask
Henrietta Morris, born 1841 Findo-Gask
Euphemia Morris, born 1845 Findo-Gask
Peter Morris, born 1849 Findo-Gask
Now I wonder why it says born Yark... Is the household definately in Findo-Gask?

I think this is them from the free Ancestry search.
1861 Perthshire
William Moris 61
Euphemia Moris 65
Janet Moris 26
Peter Moris 11
William Moris 6
No sign of Elizabeth though.
Can you check the places of birth please?
Thanks again

This is how they are transcribed by Ancestry:
William Moris
age: 61
occupation: farmer of The Ares Emply 5 men
born: Kinaird, Perths
Town: Suburb
County: Perthshire
Address: Windsole
With him is
Ephemia Moris age 65 daughter (!?!?!?) born Gask, Perths occ: general work
Janet 26 b Gask general workPeter 11
Peter 11 b Gask
William 5 b Auchterader, Perths
Elizabeth must have died, or maybe she is badly transcribed somewhere else 
Ancestry - useless lot ...
