Looks like 'Ellensborough'
« on: Saturday 14 May 05 09:57 BST (UK) »
In the 1881 census in England my gt grandfather has put born Scotland Ellensborough? The Ellen is clear but the middle is difficult and ends with ough.
In the 1891 census in England his birth is Scotland, Dunbarton.
Is 'Ellensborough' part of Dunbarton? I've checked the parishes of Dunbartonshire and it hasn't appeared there.

His name was Alexander Stuart McMillan b c1844 - father (you've guessed)  Alexander McMillan -fisherman.

I would appreciate any assistance. Jill

Hi Jill, It's actually spelt 'Helensburgh' and is in Dunbartonshire.
Hope this helps.
