Hi Dawn,
I am stiill looking for my elusive James Murray & son John
age about 20 years in 1841.
Can you find a John Murray in 1841?
Perhaps living with James Murray & Isobel & children in Scotts Place
If so, I wonder where they were all born if stated in county or outside.
I understand another John is with Nicols family similar age.
Also looking for John's future wife Helen Moffat age would be about 25
Thanks Dawn, hope that you can help.
Cheers

Dear Dawn,
Thank you for this, have just found it again and discovered your reply.
Those Murrays were quite elusive however it does seem that this is the correct one.
Shall hunt now for Helen Murray (Moffat)

Hi again
went to the Laterday Saint church today and looked on their computer as they subscribe to ancestry.com. Plugged in Nicholas Swanston and she came up right away as being born in Galashiels, Selkirk on May 25, 1843. Her father John Swanston also shows up as being born 8 May 1808 in the Galashiels region of Selkirk. His parents are Andrew and Isabel Swanston. Her maiden name is Beck. She often went by Betty Beck and is from the Dumfries area. Would you be able to check the 1841 census for Andrew and Isabel Swanston in the Galashiels region of Selkirk and if John wasn't married yet he would show up in their household as a young man. I am hoping that possible brothers may be Andrew, George and Walter. These are the other families that lived in the same area and George and Walter list their father as Andrew on their respective marriages.
Thanks for your time

Hi,
I haven't got the 1841 census for Galashiels, its just for Selkirk.
If you type in 'Graham and Emma Maxwell' into a search engine you will find that they have actually transcribed the 1841 census for Galashiels and other area's in the Borders of Scotland, and it also gives a list of surnames in each area.
Thats were i get them from.
Sorry i couldn't help further.

I have a Janet Hogg born Ettrick married to a William Paterson (Patterson). They had a son Peter Patterson born 24/10/1837 Ettrick Is Janet and William on the 1841 census. Their son Peter was with his grandparents on the 1841 and 1851 census.
Kind regards
Isobel

Hi Isobel,
I've had a look and there are a few William Patersons on the census but none of them are married to a Janet Paterson.
I checked the 1841 for Selkirk and the 1851 for Selkirk and Galashiels.
-
I presume you mean Janet Hogg
Thanks anyway

Hi Dawn,
Can you check out this family in the 1841 and 1851 census for Ettrick please? James Little,born 1804 Hutton,Dumfriesshire,wife Mary Laidlaw,born 1805? Hawick.He was a shepherd on a farm called Chapelhope and I believe he lived in a cottage called Kercleuch in the Yarrow valley for about 40 years from around 1840.It would be helpful to know who was in the house at the time of the censuses.Also his father,Matthew Little for the 1841 census-a bit of a longshot as he was born 1767-he was alive in a house called Glenkerry in Ettrick(about 3 miles south of Ettrick village )in 1827.Also a shepherd and born in Hutton.
Many thanks,
Oyinda

I only have them for the Parish of Selkirk and Galashiels.

I would be grateful if you could see if James McGregor, wife Margaret, children David . Jean[or Jane] Joseph and possibly Robert are there.
Thanks

Hi linet,
There are 3 McGregors in 1841 Selkirk, they are:
Alexander aged 35 born Scotland
Joseph aged 26 born Scotland
Mary aged 25 born Sxotland
If they are yours i'll give you the rest of the info.
-
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I don't think they are the ones I am looking for.
James McGregor was a cabinet maker, who applied for assisted passage to Australia in the 1840s.I can't find out which ship they came on, or from which port they left Scotland.
James and Margaret[ nee Peacock] were married at Hawich, in the parish of Selkirk, on 26th nov. 1830.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I wonder if you could look up Thomas and Margaret Scott. Their youngest child appears to have been born in Selkirk in Jan 1841 so I'm hoping to find them plus several of their children.
Unfortunately I know nothing else about them so far.
TIA

Thanks Beckey,
Are you sure this is the 1841 census and not the 1851? The children's names are right but they seem about 10 years too old!
J
-
Sorry,
It is the 1851 census, forgot the date have adjusted accordingly.
They looked the nearest to what you said, though there are a lot of Scot families in Selkirk.
-
Thanks for the confirmation Beckey,
Asking someone for the 1851 census was going to be my next question! This certainly seems to be the right family if the IGI is to be believed. I don't suppose you have the 1841 census too do you? :)
Thanks again for the info.
J
-
Sorry, don't have the 1841 census, there might be someone out there has it if they read your message.

Hi Jacky
This looks like the family in 1841:

Thomas, 18
Isabella, 14
Margret, 12
William, 8
