1851 Kilsyth Census

1851 Kilsyth Census
I am looking for the birth place  "Malliows, Kilsyth, Stirlingshire" of my 2nd Great G'mother.
Any help appreciated. Mr Google isn't working for this one.

Have you accessed her birth record in the Old Parish Registers yet? Sometimes that gives a clue as to where a place may have been.
Where did the family stay in 1861?

Hi,
I looked up "old place names for Kilsyth". I came up with MAILINGS,but it is a payfor view site.
If you look up Mailings Road,Banton,Kilsyth,it will probably close to the location you are looking for.

Good Luck

If you go to the National Library of Scotland maps website, you will get free access to old maps of the area. Click on "Series maps" and select the earliest Ordnance Survey 6 inches to a mile map.

Yes found Mailings so guessing that is what it was meant to be perhaps. Thanks for your help.

I looked through the 1851 census on FreeCEN. Mallions is listed in the same enumeration district as Banton, Engine and other places around Maillings so it does look likely to be the right place.
