Hi Pam,
I'd love to see them in 1861 - I'm relying on the local history centre's copies of the censuses, and they're not indexed, so I can only look at the same address again 10 years later - and they're not there. They were on a farm - Almondhill farm in Kirkliston - in 1851, presumably as workers, but neither my family (Tullis) nor the family they were "mixed up" with (Laurie) was there in 1861, so I don't know where else to look.
Then there is the possibility that these are the wrong Tullis's anyway - I KNOW that Robert and Annie were "of this parish" in Kirkliston in 1849, because that's when they married, but that doesn't necessarily mean they stayed there until 1851, let alone 1861.
Since what I was expecting to find was a Robert Tullis aged in his 20s at least, and an Annie Tullis, Robert's wife, (not a 4 and 1 year old), I don't know whether to assume the error is in the relationship or the age, but clearly there is an error.
If you (or anyone else) has any suggestions about how to go about looking for this couple in 1861 when I don't know where they lived, I'd sure like to know....
....any idea when Scotland's People will be making these earlier censuses available online? The index is the thing that helps the most...
