222 Overgate Dundee - can you find the family who was there in 1861 censu

[amandar]

Hi 

I would like to know if my ancestors were there in 1861 census.  William Walker and Mary Bruce married 22/5/1865 in Dundee and this was the address given for both at the time.  I know people moved around a lot so I know it is a long shot

Hi Amanda,

What were their ages, Williams occupation & parent's names on marriage as they may have been living with either parents.

I forgot to add........

Where were each born & which County?

Annie

Too many with name of William Walker without an estimated age.

  At the Marriage - William Walker age 28 (Seaman)  Aberdeen , Mary Bruce age 23 domestic Servant   1871 census says Mary born Kincardineshire

His parents Alexander Walker and Helen (nee Gordon)

Her parents Alexander Bruce and Ann Willox ( mother deceased when they married)

Sorry,

Having no luck at all.

It is possible the address given was only temporary as his base as a seaman?
Maybe even a witnesses address?

Was this the address they married at?

Just for background on another linked post, www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=734183.0

William Walker likely less of an issue to find, as showing on the other post. Mary Bruce is still a problem before her 1865 marriage

Regarding who lived at 222 Overgate in 1861, from the transcript's address search option, it shows as multi-occupancy with many different households at that address. The address is indexed as 222 Overgate Saunders Court.
