Hi Rosie
thanks but how can she be the sister in law and unmarried... in relation to the head of the household?
Thnk you
-
Sister in Law was sometimes used to describe a stepsister (or brother) I've also seen it used to describe a step child... (son in law etc.)
-
ahhh ok thank you, i just cant find any other record of Cruikston or similar spellings anywhere on the scottish - scotlandspeople or findmypast websites other than that census :-(
-
The nearest alternative surname I can see is Crookston.
-
Or Cranston?

For "sister in law" to work in the modern sense:
Christina may have been married twice, the first time to someone named Cruikston. Hannah was that husband's sister.
The eldest Currie child shown was born when Christina was about 40, which leaves a good few years for an earlier marriage.
-
Scotlandspeople have Hannah transcribed as Cruikstone. There are a few Cruikstone births in the OPR ( in Dalry). There are some cruickstons in the 1851 census in Bonhill, Dumbartonshire and some Cruickstones in the 1861 census in Tranent.

1841 census Barony St Luke's Lanrkshire
Alexander Currie 32
Christine Currie 30
Alexander Currie 8
Christian/ Christina Currie 6
Be wary of the age in 1851 perhaps it should be 50 and not 58
Need a marriage 1829-1832 between Alexander Currie and Christina
