1871 Census Midlothian

[tidybooks]

Hi,

I did a search on the 1871 census for "Leith Walk" in address box only. I went through all results, and never got any in number 9, in fact, no one under 14 Leith Walk, I wonder if part of the 1871 census was missing. There were some strange addresses Leith Walk Nursery No 1, 2, 3 ,4 & 5, Even a Leith Walk Caravan.

Sorry, no further forward.

I would agree Tom. That's why I wondered where the birth would have been to see if it tied in with the address when John had his tramcar accident.
What a pity the family are so elusive. Maybe there is a gap in the Leith Census records for that year.

Hi,

In 1899, 7 and 9 Leith Walk were converted to the Central Bar, which is still open today. History here - http://thebarbiographer.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/central-bar-leith.html

Hi Looby, definitely think part of the 1871 census is missing. Unfortunately cannot get a result on SP either.

Thanks again to everyone for your help.
After searching on and off for several years I suspected that part of the census must be missing.
I had tried ever member of the family with or without a surname and nothing turned up on any website.

You probably know that Brabner and Brebner are variants of Bremner - have you looked under this spelling?

Hi Forfarian,

As Judith says, I have also tried searching without surnames juts using christian names, and also just searching with "LeithWalk" and "9 Leith Walk". I could not get results lower than 14 Leith Walk, the 9 Leith Walk was turned into the Central Bar around 1899, and is still open today. It can be seen clearly on Google maps.

I wonder who could advise us, if part of the census is missing?
