Hi there
Would some be kind enough to do a census look-up for me please in 1861 and 71. I'm looking for an Andrew McWilliam b c1787 Wigtownshire.
In the 1841 census, address Blair Street, Portpatrick, he's listed as a 'blind seaman' born Wigtownshire.
In the 1851 census, address 896 Blair St, Portpatrick, he's listed as a 'pauper, ag lab, blind, born Portpatrick'. His wife's name was Agnes, born in Ireland, she died in 1874.
I'm trying to narrow down when he died as I can't find a death record for him.
Cheers
Julie

hi again
had a look for Andrews death between 1851/61 census, no results, i'm new at this but could be possible that Andrew died before 1855, maybe somebody could look at parish records for a death entry.

hi
re Agnes 1861 census....had another look she is listed as "head"
i'm off out just now but i'll try again later to hopefully find Andrew....1861 census has a family of McWilliam with an Andrew age 77 birth year 1784 but he is listed as "son" ?

hi julie
have you got Andrews parents names?
looking at SP i can only find 1 birth in the time frame for Andrew.....born 26 Sep 1784, Portpatrick...parents names John McWilliam & Mary Adair....IGI have same date, but that is submitted entry.
still searching to find Andrews death, no luck so far.....could he have died outwith Scotland?

Hi linda, thanks so much for taking the trouble to do all this. Unfortunately I don't have a definate birth year for Andrew. I'm only going on the census records although they vary which is a bugger. 1841 has him born 1791, 1851 has him born 1787 I also don't have Andrew's parents names which doesn't help. Cheers Julie
You do know that in the 1841 census the ages were rounded down to the nearest five (not all enumerators stuck to this) that could account for him being younger in 1841
