Well done Monica

The 1857 map shows that it wasn't very big and 6 acres is not a large farm

Hey guys.

You go away for a day and lots of kind people respond to your thread, thanks guys.

Sancti - i have all those census transcriptions and they are my line. I couldn't fingure what Baeres Urable was. I guessed at arable. 6 acres arable makes much more sense! - Thanks Monica and Flst!!

FYI - Kilway is actually Galway and Heman is Ninian.

Don and Graham - thanks, that is the sort of stuff i have not seen before so could be interesting, i'll have a search.

Silly question. On the 1861 census posted by Sancti, William is Shepherd Proprietor Of & Loom (oddly worded) and his brother is a linendraper. I can only guess Thomas may sold the product of the loom and may have even worked on the loom. Is this a resonable guess?

Thanks again

As the farm was small they may have needed more income to support the family

Viewing the original census on SP will tell you how accurate the transcription is

I found mention of a Halliday in the Farm Horse Tax 1797-98 Book Vol.2, for Moffat.A carrier, he was liable for paying duty on the 2 horses he owned. I think his initials were Jno. Clink on the link below to see for your self. A possible ancestor ?

Thanks for that flst.

I had found that before but I haven't found a Halliday who was a carrier in my line.

I had tried to make sense of the initials Jno. I wasn't sure if they were initials or if it was short for something. Any ideas on that one?

Jno is also used as John
