1891 Census

[Pricey4848]

Hi

Looking for John Heron B 1848 Blairgowrie and Christina Heron nee Stewart B 1848 married at Dundee 1884.

John died 1894 Baldernoch Clunie.

Thanks

I'm only able to view transcripts of the Scottish census - have found what appears to be him (from address) but birthplace and name of wife different??

1891 - Baldernock, Clunie, Perthshire

John Heron     42      Farmers son           b. Caputh, Perthshire
Elizabeth Heron  42                                       ditto
Helen Joan Heron   7                                     ditto
Mary Ann Heron  5                                        ditto
Eliza Paton Heron                                          ditto
John Heron  10months                           b. Clunie, Perthshire

I note that in 1901 children are with Christina so can only assume that 'Elizabeth' is a mistranscription.

Thanks for this info
John died in 1894/5 so I am confident this is the family
Where are they living in 1901 and is it same as 1891 Baldernoch?

The Herons appeared to be farmers around Blairgowrie/ Forneth area.

[Annette7]

In 1901 the family are at Puddockwells Cottage, Caputh, Perthshire.

Christina Heron    54    widow             b. Caputh
Nellie Heron         17                               ditto
Eliza Heron          12                                ditto
John Heron          10                                ditto

That's great thanks. I'll search for the address and hopefully will be able to visit it whilst I'm up here. Do you know of any online maps which may show the location as of 1901?

I've found Little Puddockwells Coitage about 3 miles away from centre of Caputh. Would or could this be same place?
