Stirlingshire / 1841 look up for the Barrie family please
« on: Sunday 05 March 06 22:42 GMT (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can look up the 1841 census for my g/g/grandmother Helen BARRIE please?
The 1881 census says that she was born in Larbert Stirling about 1828.
I havent found her marriage, but she had my g/grandmother in Dec 1848 in Kirriemuir Angus. Her husband was Robert Allardice.
On the birth certificates of some of their children, her name is given as Ellen or Helen BARRET and on the others it is Helen BARRIE.
Robert Allardice died in 1887 and sometime after that, Helen must have gone back to live in Stirling, because she died there in 1916. However, her son who registered the death, gave her maiden name as BARRET and her age as 78 which would have meant that her date of birth would have been 1838, just 10 years before her first child was born. Also the first names of her parents are missing from her death certificate!
If Helen can be found on the 1841 census, it might solve some of the problems.
Thanks in advance
