Hi Rodeo,
Thank you so much for your reply, unfortunately I don't think this john muirhead is my relative.
The only info I have is from his marriage cert to my ggrandmother in 1877 Dunedin NZ and his age of 43 years, occupation, laborer, and on my granmother's birth cert has his age at 48yrs place of birth, Hamilton Lanarkshire, Scotland. So this would make his birth yr as 1834 or there abouts.
The census I manage to get but can not read that well is dated 07/04/1861 Muirhead, John [ census 1861/01 103/01 007]
Have used my very BIG magnifying class and all i can make is..
30 Benkirk st? or -----kirk st.. John Muirhead..26yrs..occp..laborer?..unclear..born Scotland.. wife..Margaret.....24yrs..Scotland.. next name unknown...niece? 7yrs..scholar.
This john muirhead's birth would coincide with my chappie and is possible he may have been married before he came to NZ and there may not have been any children?
Once again thank you for your help. Roselad
