Selkirkshire / census transcription error?
« on: Saturday 07 August 10 18:15 BST (UK)  »
1881 Selkirkshire  Census, John Crichton b.1805, 40 Overbaugh Street, Woolen weaver, daughter Margaret Greig 52 and her children, Jane P. Greig 23 and Margaret Greig 12.
1871 Selkirkshire Census, John Crichton b. 1807, 40 Overbaugh Street, Woolen weaver, daughter Margaret b. 1812, and her children, James Pringle 17, Jane Pringle 14, Jessie Pringle 12, Catherine Greif 4, Margaret Greif 2.
I haven't been able to find the Greig husband for Margaret, or anything further on Jane P. or Margaret Greig.  I think it may be possible that the P. in Jane P. Greig could stand for Pringle.  But maybe there are some transcription errors, in spelling and dates.  Ancestry doesn't have the actual census, and I don't have access to the original.  Please help.

Family History Beginners Board / Pickup family of Accrington
« on: Wednesday 23 June 10 17:36 BST (UK)  »
I have been looking for about 20 years for my John Pickup who I believe was born in Lancashire about 1819 from the census records I can find.  He was married to Hannah Lord about 1841 and then to Isabell Fletcher Crichton about 1875. So I can find him in the 1841 census but he's already married, so that doesn't help me find his parents.  I know his greatgrandfather was named Lawrence and another grandfather was James Pickup, but that's not much help as there are so many Pickups!  and I thought it was an unusual name!  Any help would be so appreciated.
