Thank you so much you are brillant, I'm not the best at researching, still learning. 
I have looked  at the site and it's worth giving it a go, it's a possibility it may be my man.
Once again thank you.

Hi Rodeo,
Sorry i don't know if he even had siblings, haven't  even been able to find out when he arrived here in NZ.
 I'm going to try for a death cert as he died aged 57, in 1891 at Portobello, Otago,hoping it might throw up some more info.

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

Lanarkshire / John Muirhead
« on: Saturday 27 March 10 22:30 GMT (UK)  »
I need help to find the correct birthdate and names of parents of John Muirhead born abt 1834 [?] Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
I am a Kiwi family researcher who is finding it a bit difficult to find info from a distance!
I have a print out of 1861 Census but the writing isn't very clear and I can't make out his occupation- ooh! problems!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / James Annan Ramsay
« on: Saturday 27 March 10 22:07 GMT (UK)  »
I am searching for particular information about James Annan Ramsay - born 17 February 1856, Lanark, Scotland. He was a lawyer in Edinburgh abt 1880 - 1894 [?]  and apparently was shipped out to New Zealand by his family because  he disgraced them when he committed some sort of crime. His family paid him a remittance to stay away and he was not allowed to practice law in New Zealand.
I am trying to research what his crime was and finding it very difficult as I am a Kiwi and the distance is a stumbling block.
Can anyone help me at all? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
