1851 & 1861 census look up Bo'ness
« on: Friday 30 October 09 22:25 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I'm looking for John Stephens (b. 1822 Bo'ness) who married Isabella Elizabeth McNeill on 25 Mar 1846 in Bo'ness.
They had 2 sons : John Patrick Graham S. in Jun 1847 and Neil MacNeill Stephens in Jun 1851.
John & Isabella died in 1864 & 1863 & are buried in Bo'ness - so I I hope I can find them in the 1851 & 1861 censuses in Bo'ness - nothing on Free Cen site.
N.B. in 1851 John's father another John is listed as "Stevphey".
I'd be very grateful for any help.
Liz

This is tremendous!! Thank you, thank you!
John's father had been the parochial school master in Bo'ness too - but I could never find what this John had done or where his wife came from - so many questions solved - thank you so much!
