Page 2. ' some more timeline' Thank you Buckhyne. From your finds  I now have a definite move, Dec. 1831, from Barossa Place to King's Place where Misses I & S Hindmarsh are to have their Introductory Seminary, Sept. 1832 and then in May 1833 a move to St. Leonards Bank. I guess this is where the Hindmarsh family stayed until moving to South St., St. Andrews 
Page 3. 'some more'  Thank you Buckhyne - your help is invaluable. I had found that JHH's eldest son - also John Hall hindmarsh  married Mary Anne Nicholson, Calcutta, 1831. I haven't found any children for this couple.
I had not been able to find JHH on a 1851 census so I am very pleased to now have this record. I am especially pleased to find Isabella Nesbitt here. Isabella married Andrew Abercrombie Nesbitt 1839. I don't know when he died but their daughter Antoinette died, aged 13, April, 1853 at the Manse, Kettlins, Dundee, Angus. On Antoinette's obituary it mentioned only her father and her grandparents - JHH & Sarah H  so i thought Isabella must have died.  I have now found that she married again in 1856 at St. Andrew's Islington, England - to John Derry who was 20 years her junior.
With the information you found on the Misses I and S Hindmarsh my interest in these two has been rekindled. With the above I have some idea of Isabella's life but I would like to tie together the random pieces I have on Sarah Marshall Hindmarsh and have them verified.
Mar. 1835, aged 20, Sarah married Charles Rose a widower and merchant.
1841  census  Charles Rose is in Leeds and with him are Andrew and Isabella Nesbitt and their baby daughter, Antoinette. Isabella and Sarah's younger sister - Jane Ann Sophia Hindmarsh is also there. Isabella is not with them  and I haven't found her anywhere else for 1841.
Scottishroots.com says that ' the death of Sarah, the wife of Henry Charles Barney, a fund holder, took place in Edinburgh in 1874, the cause being alcoholic poisoning.' This was from an article on Ian Fleming who descended from Marshall Kirkland Hindmarsh, Sarah's younger brother.
I could not find Sarah in the 1851 census but having HC Barney as a clue I found her in the 1861 census with HCB in Aberystwith, Wales.
1871 census SMH and HCB are in Penrith, Cumberland.
Dundee Courier, July 27, 1859.  'A Sarah Barney or Tulloch, Butcher Row, was accused of stealing two smoothing irons .............pleaded guilty, and was sent to prison for six months. She had several times previously convicted of theft - on one occasion before the Sheriff with a jury, when she received a sentence of three months imprisonment. ' 
Since younger sister, Jane Ann Sophia married John Tulloch it would seem likely that this is the correct Sarah and she might have sometimes used the name Tulloch. I have not found her marriage to Barney or Charles Rose's death. I looked for further newspaper reports but to date have found none.
I know that originally my quest was for help with movement of the Hindmarsh family within Perth and I am not sure it I should have started a new  query for help finding information on Sarah Marshall Hindmarsh or just carried on as I have. I hope this ok  Jo

This is your thread so you can do what you want with it (although If it were me I would start a new thread).
I'm hopeless with anything genealogy-wise in England so I don't think I can help any more.
I may have a couple of snippets from Perth newspapers but we will see.

Thank you so much Buckhyne for all your help. Advertisements for John Hall Hindmarsh - his performances, his teaching and his publications  along with reviews and testimonials are to be found throughout Northumberland and Scottish historic newspapers. I can use  the British newspapers site in half hour segments at my local library which is good but not as good as having it at home. . You have given me a big boost. The maps and the photos of the likes of Rose Terrace make it all more real and interesting and I will make an effort to find similar in some of the other towns he lived in . Thank you again. Jo

Great. More treasure!.  After the Easter break I'll be checking details. The letter sent from Ferryport-on-Craig is intriguing. I wonder if JHH was on holiday when he wrote it. The last Edinburgh address I have for him is 1825. I had imagined him beginning at Perth Academy Sept. 1826 but your find of the presentation of ' an elegant silver snuff box and a beautiful, massive salver ' from students, June 1826 means he must have begun work at the Perth Academy early in 1826 or Sept. 1825.
I think the Misses Hindmarsh venture may have come to an end with the marriage of Sarah, 1835 and Isabella, 1839. This may have necessitated a move down market to King's St. which I see is still in the general area - King's Place / St. Leonard's Bank where they last lived.
I had not seen the  'retiring pension' piece. JHH made a quick recovery and was at St. Andrews for the new academic year. Sept. 1840! For the next 16 years till his death 1856 he was in:
1840 - 1842 - St. Andrews.  1843-1844  - Newcastle upon Tyne,  1845 - 1847- Jersey ( youngest daughter Jane A.S. Hindmarsh married John Tulloch on Jersey 1845)  1847- 1850 - Dundee, 1951- 1855 - Coupar Angus, 1856 - St. Andrews.
From 1847 Sarah & John Hindmarsh lived near their youngest daughter  and her husband - Jane & John Tulloch. After Dundee John Tulloch was the minister at Kettins near Coupar Angus. On a plain headstone at Kettins JHH had inscribed possibly one of the longest epitaphs on record for his wife Sarah when she died 1853. ( ' Epitaphs & Inscriptions ....NE Scotland  - Andrew Jervoise) Although JHH died at St. Andrews ( John Tulloch became Principal at St. Andrews Uni ) his death is recorded on the same stone as his wife's so I presume he was buried at Kettins.
I have a broad outline of  the general movements of the Hindmarsh family but now with the detail you have generously supplied, Buckhyne, I have come to want to find not only the towns but also if possible the streets and houses this family lived in .
Thank you  Jo
