1851 Census ORKNEY (South Ronaldsay and Burray) Banks
« on: Monday 24 May 04 09:52 BST (UK) »
I'm interested in a Donald Banks who appears in the 1841 census in Burray.

He's a 50 year old farmer, born outside the county.

Would anyone with access to the 1851 census mind having a look for him. I'd be very interested in his detailed birthplace.

Thanks

Hi Alastair
You've probably had a reply to your query, but just in case you haven't I've looked up the 1851 South Ronaldsay census.
