1851 Kilsyth Census

[Miyam]

Just to throw a spanner in the works is it possible that Marriows is a family name as a few are jumping out at me from google?
Perhaps they worked and resided there.

I don't think so.

What is your gggrandmother's name and age?

I don't think so.

What is your gggrandmother's name and age?

Her name is Jean Jarvie No maiden name yet (Husband Peter b.1793)
1851 census shows Residence: Malliows Kilsyth Stirlingshire

The 1841 census transcription at www.freecen.org.uk lists it as Mullans and the 1851 says Village of Mallions.

The places in the enumeration district in 1851 are Glenhead, Craigdouffie, Slacks, Drumnessie, Berryhill, Crossmyloof, Bentend, Waterside, Slachristock, Slafarqhuar, Spittal, Burnhouse, Brockieside, Riskend, Auchinvalley, Auchinrivoch,  Village of Banton, Village of Engine, Village of Mallions, Village of Auchinvalley and Valleybank House. Look at the old map I gave you the link to. You can just about follow the route the enumerator walked from one place to another, assuming that the place marked Low Banton is the Village of Auchinvalley (there being nowhere esle big enough in the enumeration district).

Can you still doubt that the place you have transcribed as Malliows is the one that FreeCen has as Mullans in 1841 and Mallions in 1851 is the place marked Maillings on the map?

Thank you once again Forfarian. I do recxognise some of the listed places and
Yes there is no doubt that it is around Banton now as youhave supplied so much info.
Much appreciated.
