Hi
hoping some kind Rootschatter can look up Joseph Telfer b1828 with wife Elizabeth b1842 both of Dunscore,and any family living with them. Any census info after 1851 would be very much appreciated.
Info I have on Joseph T is in 1851,he is aged 22, living in Lochrutton and working as a farm servant, unmarried- he married Elizabeth in 1862 Dunscore.
so far I have them with children
Robert b1865 Holywood
James b1867 Dunscore
Agnes b1869 Holywood
William b1874 Holywood
then a bit of a gap with my GGmother Mary b1881 Dunscore.
Joseph died 1905 at "Little Burnside",Holywood,Dumfries his wife Elizabeth died 1915 Dunscore.
Thanks
Fiona

1871 Census shows them living at Williamsfield, Holywood which you have already.
1881 - have not found them
1891 - living at Riddings Cottage, Irongray, Kirkcudbrightshire:
Joseph, Elizabeth, James, Agnes, Mary you already have - William is not there.
In addition:
David Wright Telfer b abt 1878, Dunscore,
Alexander Telfer b abt 1888, Irongray, Kirkcudbrightshire,
Elizabeth Telfer b abt 1889, Sanquhar, Dumfriesshire
1901 - living at Knowehead Cottage, Holywood.
Joseph, Elizabeth, William (Estate Carter), Mary (worker on estate), Alexander & Elizabeth (scholars)
Hope this helps.

Hi Thorneytale :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to pass on census info. The info you have given has helped peace together a lot of info that I was missing including 3 more children.
I think I have found Joseph Telfer 1881 aged 50 in Holywood, Dumfries and his wife Elizabeth TELFORD aged 41 with children in Langholm using free searches on SP.
