Hi Hannah

Unfortunately, we all have to pay to use Scotlands People as they don't have a subscription service. The information you are looking for won't necessarily be freely available elsewhere.

As the gift season is almost upon us, could you ask for money/credits for Christmas to help you along?

You are very fortunate that so many people have been researching these lines and have made their info available online as they have 

A good and free site to search for census information, particularly strong for the areas you are looking at for the family is www.maxwellancestry.com/ancestry/default.htm Census info for the early censuses is also available via www.freecen.org.uk/
