« on: Friday 20 June 08 02:51 UTC (UK) »
My cousin sent me from ancestry, a 1871 census, this is the only census I;ve never viewed, & with my James Gordon who on the census is now 55yrs ,so born abt 1816,in other census;s hes 5-7 yrs older, the bonus is theres awilliam gordon aged 78,(born abt 1793), & a mary 70yrs )born abt 1801),-I would dearly love to know where they were both born,& are they the parents of my James, James died jul 1871 & on his death cert, he was put at 50 yrs & parents unknown, so 16 years later i might have a lead? the census

says, Tillicoultry clkmn, Address 20 town foot,-- ED 6, Household Schedule 119, line 4,- roll cssct1871_80
thanks valerieann

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but they are mis-transcribed on Ancestry. I looked at the original.

It is Mary Gordon age 10 daughter and William Gordon age 18 son. All the children were born in Tillicoultry.

So...have you found any record of his birth...even a maybe Huh Have you a marriage because his wife's name Robina is unusual I think.... Huh

I did find a marriage on IGI of a James Gordon and a Robina Allen -  12 AUG 1846 - Clackmannan, Clackmannan, Scotland......could be them  Undecided  You have probably seen that already.

Haven't done much research in the day in Scotland because most of my lot were Irish who emigrated to Scotland post 1900. Hopefully someone with experience in the past will be able to help you.    

About the age thing....I reckon age and birth dates weren't an issue for them like it is in our culture today  Grin Keeping food on the table was probably the main priority  Cheesy ......and, it also depends who was filling out the census record....in my experience some were very creative  Shocked Shocked Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
