I have the 1851 census,  but I am not sure if I have the correct family, no one is alive in Canada that could help me on this.  I would love to see what you have, thankyou.

i do not really know with regard to his military record
i suppose you could post on the armed forces pages
or you could get in touch with his regt
i know they have military records at kew but i do not know if that includes scottish regts i suspect it would do though
i think the best bet though would be to start another post on the armed forces pages
i am sure they would be able to help you;
mick.
