Hi everyone
Hoping someone can help locate this family as I cannot access records outside the UK atm
1851 Scottish Census - Colliertree Lanarkshire
John McArthur, 52yrs, born Campbellton, Argyleshire, Scotland, Coal miner
Margaret McArthur, 45yrs, wife, born Crawford Lanarkshire
Janet McArthur, 21yrs, daughter, born Cambusneath Lanarkshire
Archibald McArthur, 16yrs, son, born New Monkland Lanarkshire
Jane McArthur, 12yrs, daughter, born New Monkland Lanarkshire
Agnes McArthur, 9yrs, daughter, born New Monkland
Margaret McArthur, 8yrs, daughter, born New Monkland
Elizabeth McArthur, 2yrs, daughter, born New Monkland
Janet Crawford, 80yrs, Mother in Law, born Crawford Lanarkshire, Pauper
after this census return the family drop off the grid in Scotland
my main interest is with Margaret snr whose maiden name was WATT & Janet WATT (Crawford) I don't know why she is recorded in this census under her maiden name. Where did they end up & did Janet travel with them?
Margaret's brother William Watt (my ancestor) emigrated to America with half his family in 1865 so it's possible they followed the McArthur's...2 sons remained in Scotland, 3 children emigrated to Australia & at some point some ended up in N.Z.
I would be grateful for anything
Kim
