There were two Hugh & Janet McLatchie families in the 1851 Census;
Possible parents, but only speculation;
The 1851 Census of Girvan lists the following people in the one household at South Bridge Mill
Hugh McLatchie, head, married, male, age 62, Joiner, born in Maybole, Ayrshire
Jannet McLatchie, wife, married, female, age 58, Washerwoman, born in Girvan, Ayrshire
My Hugh McLatchie & Janet Peebles;
The 1851 Census in the Civil parish of Dundonald lists the following people in the one household at Harperland on the 31st March;
Hugh McLatchie, head, married, male, age 37, Agricultural Labourer, born in Kirkoswald, Ayrshire
Janet McLatchie, wife, married, female, age 32, born in Ballantrae, Ayrshire
Agnes McLatchie, daughter, female, age 9, born in Ballantrae, Ayrshire
Sarah McLatchie, daughter, female, age 7, born in Kirkoswald, Ayrshire
James McLatchie, son, male, age 5, born in Kirkoswald, Ayrshire
Jane McLatchie, daughter, female, age 2, born in Dailly, Ayrshire
Hugh McLatchie, son, male, age 5 months, born in Dundonald, Ayrshire
I have;
their marriage banns,
his death (no hint at parents),
her birth (parents Nathl Peebles & Agnes Brown)
her death (parents Nathaniel Peebles & Agnes Brown)
When was he born? Pick a date.
Hugh's age;
37 in 1851 Census (she was 32)
38 in 1861 Census (she was 40)
48 in 1871 Census (she was 46)
60 in 1881 Census (she was 62)
71 in 1891 Census
79 in Feb 1897 when he died.
I had considered the 1812 birth but wasn't happy with the date variations.
Regards
Grantley
