Place 1861 Census Delmang, Stirlingshire?
« on: Thursday 26 March 15 10:50 GMT (UK) »
Hi all.
I don't know much about Stirlingshire. Most of the family are from Uphall in West Lothian.
But in the 1861 for Cambuslang it says he was born in Delmang, Stirlingshire.

Is this a real place? Sort of looks like Dalmeny.
Sorry for my ignorance.

I'm hoping this place might open up somewhere to research.

Thanks

You'll need to check the original Census image if you are looking at a transcription.

Looking at addresses on the 1851 Census the nearest one I could find is Dalmary or Dalmaray (http://www.freecen.org.uk/ ).

Do you have his parents names ?

Yes I do have his parents names on an Australian death certificate.

1851 it says he was born in Queensferry Linlithgow

While
1841 it says West Lothian

He is not with his parents in any of these census.

If it's the same man it just might be an error for place of birth on the 1861 Census.  :-\

Haven't looked at the original but if you think it looks like Dalmeny  - could it be the village of Dalmeny which is just outside Queensferry and about 8 miles from the City of Edinburgh??
Maybe Stirlingshire was an error?

Looby :)

Apologies if I'm stating the obvious :)

Hi Looby  :)

Ecclesmachan , Dalmeny , and Queensferry are fairly close to each other.

Ecclesmachan to the South West of Queensferry and Dalmeny.
