Hi
 
Looking at the census the most likely Archibald was born Cullen, Banffshire in c 1830. There is a birth on Family Search for an Archibald b Cullen 13 July 1829 with parents Archibald Cruickshank and Margaret Kelman.

In 1861 he is recorded as farm grieve at Gordon Castle Home Park Bothy. Elizabeth has a separate entry but is shown as grieve's wife with children Margaret 8, Ann 6, Elizabeth4, Jean 3 and Jemima 7 mo.

In 1871 he is at Gordon Castle Home Farm as a farm manager of 800 acres 400 arable employing 17 lab and 7 women. Elizabeth is with him and there are further children in James 8, Archibald 6, Thomas 3 and John Alexander 1.

Have not been able to find a census entry for him in 1881 and beyond. In 1851 he would seem to be a farm servant in Nairnshire. Cant see an entry for 1841 but that may be down to transcription.


Hope this helps

Hi

Was the connection to Dublin a death in 1902 ?
Libindx has an Archibald Cruickshank died 1902 Dublin Ireland , born C1828.

You could try searching the 1901 Ireland Census -
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
There is an Archibald CRUIKSHANK age 72 in Dublin , born Scotland , but I don't think the family matches.

Here's a link to the family in 1901 Irish census- rest of household all born in Dublin city:
www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Dublin/Merchants_Quay/Malpas_Terrace/1345391

Archibald Cruikshank in 1901 lists his occupation as printer which might be a match for this marriage in Dublin in 1882 (father also called Archibald & a printer)-
http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details/e8124f0562923

Thought this was possibly a previous marriage for Archibald in 1852 but the 1882 marriage says bachelor:

Thank you to everyone for their replies.
 The info from Scotland is definately them. I believe the Irish record that is most appropiate to be the Archibald living with the three children (all born in Scotland.)

The record from the wills also seems appropiate.
