Muthill and Methven Perthshire 1841 Census
« on: Wednesday 25 February 15 20:20 GMT (UK) »
If anyone could help re the following in a look up in the 1841 Census returns, I would be most grateful.

Methven:  Mc Laren William born 1788 in Muthill, shown in Piggot's Directory 1837 as a cart and wheelwright

and

Muthill: Mclaren John born Muthill 1790, shown in Piggots as an inn keeper/vintner in Ardoch.

Thanks in anticipation!

P.S. Will have a look for John later this afternoon.

Thank you so much for that Don - I am most grateful.
If you are able to locate John in 1841 that would be fantastic. I know he was dead by 1848, so should not be locatable in 1851. He was my gt gt grandfather x3.
Kind regards Elaine
