census look up 1901
« on: Sunday 30 October 05 22:41 GMT (UK) »
I have been trying to find my great grandparents on this census. Their names are John Donaldson aged about 44, ann/annie aged about 41/42 and their son John 9 (my grandfather )aged about 8/9. The older john was a roadman or overman  in a colliery  or near Slamannan . I have been totally unsuccessful. Can anyone find them for me? Many thanks in advance. PS I do not know if they had any other children.

Hello CCR, there are 5 John Donaldsons in Stirlingshire in about the right age group.

JOHN M 46 DENNY STIRLING
JOHN M 39 FALKIRK STIRLING
JOHN M 39 FALKIRK STIRLING
JOHN M 42 SLAMANNAN STIRLING

John Donaldson, aged 42 on the 1901 census at Station Road, Knockheapie (sp?), Slammanan, Coal Miner born in Airdrie, Lanarkshire had a 9 year old son, John, Scholar born in Slammanan.

There are 3 other children shown, all born in Slammanan, William aged 15, Coal Miner, Isabella aged 12, House Worker and Martin aged 6, Scholar however John's wifes name is Isabella, aged 42, born in Slammanan.

Don't know if this helps,

thanks for your help Lindsay. My john donaldson aged about 42+ was born in1858 and registered at Polmont.. In the 1871 census he is 12 and gives his birthplace as Muiravonside. He marries in 1878 and his wife is Annie. After that I cannot find him or his family on any census though I know he did not leave the country and was working in various pits in stirlingshireand at barrachnie iGlasgow. It is so frustrating.I know he didnot die as I have a photo of him and Annie in old age, a report of thei golden wedding and his signature at my grandfathers wedding, but where was he from 1871-1901!
