Lanarkshire / McAloon Family in 1861 Census - Old Monkland areas -
« on: Wednesday 02 March 22 03:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, I am trying to find out if my GG Grandfather on the 1861 Census, named a place in Lanarkshire. 
His name was John McAloon - in the 1851 census he is listed at Middle Ward and Airdrie, but birthplace is just "Ireland".
In the 1871 census, he is listed in Old Monkland Middle District.
His wife was Isabella - his children in 1851 Census were John James and Anne.
In 1871, his wife was deceased and his children listed as Partick, Thomas and Margaret
Has the 1861 Census been destroyed that I cannot find any reference to my family.
Any guidance will be gratefully accepted.
Regards Karen (Australia)

Armed Forces / 85th Regiment in Fulwood 1851 census
« on: Thursday 01 April 21 03:12 BST (UK)  »
I have a 3rd great grandfather, who is showing on the 1851 Census, for Fulwood, Lancashire and listed as Soldier 85th Regiment.
He had a daughter age one yr, who was born in Ireland as was he and his wife.
I am trying to find out where the 85th went to after 1851, and the daughter is listed with deceased parents when she came out by ship in 1866.
Did men sign up for short periods, or did the Regiment  move around.
I cannot find any mention of the regiment in the 1861 census.
Any suggestions or pointers would be gratefully accepted.
Regards Karen
