Eliza Rust HENDRY, born Old Machar 1887

[Seaton Smithy]

Hi.

I'm looking to find some information about Eliza Rust Hendry from the 1891 census.

I found Eliza on Ancestry on the 1901 census living in Newhills with James and Eliza Wyness.  She is recorded as Niece aged 8, born about 1893 in Old Machar.

I could only find one Eliza Rust Hendry on a search of scotlandspeople.co.uk, born 1887 in Old Machar.

I have found index references to Eliz R Hendry in Newhills born about 1888 on the 1891 census on familysearch.org and Findmypast.  I don't have any credits with Findmypast at the moment but I do have full access to Ancestry - unfortunately I have been unable find the Eliz R Hendry record on Ancestry.

I am interested to know who she was living with in 1891.  I suspect it may have been James and Eliza Wyness but I have not found their 1891 census record on Ancestry either.

If anyone could point me at the 1891 census record on Ancestry it would be appreciated.

Additional known information (to save anyone searching):

Eliza Rust Hendry married Charles Smith in 1918.  Charles died 1943, Eliza died 1970.  I have been advised Charles is the Charles Smith born at Bankhead in Midmar in 1875, parents Charles Smith and Louisa Ross (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=732147.0) but that is still to be confirmed.

Charles and Eliza had 2 children, May Rodger Rust Smith (married surname Anderson) born 1919 in Birse, died 1999 in Banchory and Charles Alexander Smith born 1922 in Birse, died Aberdeen 1982.

In 1891 she is with the same family as in 1901 (born 1888)     I can't see the family on Ancestry either at the moment

Thanks, Rosie - that's appreciated.

And I'm glad it wasn't just me!

It is indeed - thanks.

It seems her parents Alexander Thain Hendry, Lamplighter, and Margaret Rust were both still alive in 1918 although she appears to have been living with her aunt from a very young age.
