Hi Gill,

You certainly are an SKS. Thankyou very much. This is definately them & I'm so excited  to see there was another son.

A big THANKYOU to all for having such a fantastic site.

1861 census......... parish of RHU,  town of HELENSBURGH

Euphemia Brand, dau, unmarr, age 18, saleswoman, born Perth,  Fabenhill (?)

unsure of Fabenhill spelling, as it is hard to make out.

Could Fabenhill possibly be Thornhill?

The 1881 Census lists her as born in Thornhill, Dumfries ... although the 1901 says Thomhill N B Sterlingshire.

Dumfries confuses me a bit because the family appeared to always remain in PER, STI, FIF and RFW.

thanks again,

Libby

There are two Thornhills.  One in Dumfries and the other in Stirlingshire.

The one I think you are looking for is on the road from Stirling to Aberfoyle.  It comes under the Thornhill and Blair Drummond Community Council.

Hope this helps
