Ok, sorry, I must have got the wrong 1851 Census.
I hope someone can help you

Hi Elizabeth

Did you get confirmation of Elspeth Seivwright's parents from her death cert? She just seems young to marrying in 1820 if she was only born in 1806 perhaps....but not unheard of!

I think your 1851 was the same as mine, Trish

Thanks both for this

have checked back on your mail to me on the Duncans and Lows Gadget and see that William Duncan and and Elspeth Seivwright are OK and in the 1851 census you have given me 1892 looks a better birth for Elsbeth than I hadand i didn't have Williams birthbut see it now ,I must have slipped up there .

Jane Duncan born 1834 Fettercairns  is my husbands grt  grandmother and I am now trying to trace his tree out .
The family must have all lived together in Trinity Road Brechin as you found for me the Lows lived there too

Would the daughter Jane born in 1834 be the same Jane Duncan who married Best Reid in 1856?
