Can anyone please list some 1861, 1871 & 1881 Census details? I am looking for detail on the household of Adam (1806-1885) and Agnes Paterson who were living in South Leith in 1841 & 1851. Adam died at Water Street, Leith. Possible children living with them are -
Peter b. abt 1831
Robert b. abt 1833
George b. abt. 1836
Alexander b. abt. 1839
William b. abt. 1846
Bruce b. abt 1850

Many thanks,

I wonder if anyone can please add any new info from Australian Genealogy Records for MARGARET YOUNG (nee McConnell) who was living c/o Mrs Wagstaff at Guilford Road, Mountlowly, Perth WA in 1916. She was born 22 January 1872 in Middlebie, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, mother Henrietta McConnell, and must have travelled to Australia some time between 1891 and 1916. She may have married in Australia. She had a son named Gilbert Moore who was born in Tallentire, Cumberland, England in 1889 and it was from Gilbert's 1916 Canadian Military Registration papers that I discovered his mother in Australia. I have yet to discover what became of Gilbert. Any new info from Passenger Lists, BMD's, Obituaries etc. would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Can anyone tell me is there any way I can find out who resided at 157 Helen Street, Glasgow in 1874, or even at the time of the 1871 and 1881 Census? Perhaps there are some directory's that would list the occupants?

Thanks,

I am trying to find out what became of my GG Grandmothers siblings in Edinburgh mid 1800's. She was WILHELMINA LAWSON and her parent's were GEORGE LAWSON, a shoemaker, (1807-1875) and JANET LAMONT (1808-1857). They lived in Fredrick Street/Rose Street/Thistle Street. Wilhelmina's siblings were as follows (all born Edinburgh) -

ELIZABETH LAWSON - born 09 Oct 1831, probably died before 1842 as not on any Census's.
ISABELLA LAWSON - born 24 Apr 1833, living in Rose Street in 1861, unable to find on later Census's.
GEORGE LAWSON - born 07 Feb 1835, Apprentice Shoemaker living Rose Street in 1851,unable to find on later Census's.
DANIEL LAMONT LAWSON - born19 Oct 1836, Apprentice Seedsman living Rose Street in 1851, unable to find on later Census's. ***UPDATE Have found Daniel. He moved to Carlisle then Manchester where he died in 1899***
MARY ANNE LAWSON - born 17 Jan 1839, Living in Hill Street with her father in 1871, unable to find on later Census's.
HENRY LAWSON - born 29 Sep 1841, Piano Tuner living Rose Street in 1861, unable to find on later Census's.
FREDERICK LAWSON - born 14 April 1845, Medical Student living Rose Street in 1861, unable to find on later Census's.
ROBERT LAWSON - born about 1847, living Rose Street in 1851, possibly died before 1862 as unable to find on later Census's. In fact he may well have died 1851/1852 as there is an OPR baptism of Mary Anne, Henry, Wilhelmina, Frederick and Janet on 24th March 1852, but no mention of Robert.
JANET LAWSON - born 28 Jul 1850, living Rose Street in 1861, unable to find on later Census's.

It is strange that they have all "disappeared". I cannot find any Emmigration Records for any of them on ancestry. Of course the females may have married. I am hoping someone may be able to find some Burial Records/Monumental Inscriptions for them?

Thanks,

Can anyone please give me further details on the following passengers, ie. name of ships and departure or arrival dates.

ANN GOWANS, born 1879, Glasgow-Montreal 1913
ANNIE GOWANS, Glasgow-Montreal 1915

I should then be able to find the correct sailing on Library and Archives Canada - there were 56 sailings Glasgow-Montreal in 1913 and 23 in 1915!!!

Many thanks,
