Hi Betty,
You may be able to narrow down the abode by looking at previous (1871) & next census (1881) records.
If you find all the families in 1st census you can check who's still there in next census & who's a newcomer?
May help a little?
You can use freecen to give you an idea initially.
Thank you for your input but I have already done this.In 1871c they were in Salford & 1881c they were in Carlisle.George Evans (Emma's father) was a journeyman painter & moved about with his family.I have no idea how long the family lived in Langholm.
Betty,
Sorry for the confusion, I was meaning the Langholm residents in Kirk Wynd who may have been there for the whole duration 1871 & 1881 & any changes in people could narrow which house(s) your family may have lived in?
