Re WARDROP 1838

[Little Else]

Hello

I am trying to help a friend with her family tree. We are looking for information about a John Wardrop born in Scotland c1838. He married a Margaret Robson on 28th June 1862 in Wilton, Roxburgh (their children were born in Hawick and Dumfries). I think Margaret was from Wilton as there seems to have been a lot of Robsons marrying there.

I was wondering if anyone could find him and Margaret on the 1871 census in Dumfries so I can ascertain where he is from. Their children were Jessie bapt. 1862, Sarah bapt. 1863, Margaret bapt. 1868, and Elizabeth bapt. 1870. I don't know who John's parents were so it would be great to be able to find him on the 1841 and 1851 censuses.

Many thanks

Kirsten

If you view their marriage certificate online at:

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

(pay per view but not that expensive), then you will find both his parents' names.

Hello

Unfortunately all I know about Margaret is that she was born in 1841 and that she was married in Wilton in 1862. She died in 1877. She had a daughter called Jessie so it is possible she named her after her mother.
