Census look up 1861 Abbey Renfrewshire
« on: Friday 22 August 14 21:27 BST (UK) »
Hi could I ask for a look up for a Mary Monteath age 19 (according to scotlandspeople) in Abbey Renfrew 1861 census? 

I'd be interested to know who she was with, so I can discount her from my research for a Maria Monteath same approx age from a different area.

Many thanks.  :)

Hi just in case there are 2 possibles, as you give no clue as to where your Maria was born, was it Thornhill, Perthshire?

Looks like I can rule her out then (Maria Monteath was born Thornhill Perthshire about 8 miles from Stirling).  Thanks rosie17  ;D

Wow keyboard86, you've cracked the wall!   ;D

So 2 wrong spellings no wonder I couldn't find her  ::)

She would have been 20 right enough but I allowed a year either side I just hadn't counted on both names being spelt differently and SP came up with Mary Monteath in Renfrew.

Bridge of Allan is a better fit too.

Thanks a million for that.
