Can anybody please help me to fill the gaps of my Cardy family please? I only have census details for 1841 so anything extra will be a bonus especially marriage and death info.
Samuel born 1828
John born1830
Robert born 1833
William born 1836
These are the children of John Cardy and Elizabeth Linn of Church st Maxwelltown
and were christened in Dumfries
Also on the 1851 census there is a William L Hughes age 6 months who I can't connect to the family although on the next census he appears asWilliam L D Cardie-- would love to know his parents
Help much appreciated

Thanks akc
I have the parents census details up to their deaths but I can't trace Margaret's siblings after 1841 census.Margaret is my gg grandmother .I think I may have found William transcribed as Carsdey on the English census living near to Margaret and I think having married herbrotherin law's sister but the others I haven't a clue on
