Hi Kate

If you go to http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl    It's FREE :)

and select 1841 and Edinburgh and put in the information you've given - with a 60 +/- 5 age and, you'll find that there are two John Hamilton's. One is a mason and the other is a 55-59 year old porter, living in the St Cuthbert's area.  You will be able to look at others living in the same household as well.
