WAT HAPPENED TO AGNESS AND MARGARET ALEXANDER SISTERS OF MARY MCQUARRIE, IN THE 1851 CENSUS THEY WERE LIVING ON BIRTWHISTLE ST WITH MARY WHO WAS WIDOWED BY THEN, MARGARET WAS 40 YEARS AND IS DOWN AS A CARDER, AGNESS IS 25 YEARS AND IS DOWN AS A STEAM LOOM WEAVER,DID THEY MARRY ? IF ANYONE KNOWS OF THEM ID BE GRATEFUL.

Have just received  the 1841 Girthon census

In alphabetical order
McQUARRIE Jane ,5
McQUARRIE John, 25, cotton spinner, Scotland
McQUARRIE Lochlan, 1
McQUARRIE Mary,20
McQUARRIE Rebecca 3
All Swan St 5

The 1841 census does not give relationships or marital status.
Scotland means born in Scotland but not in Kirkcudbrightshire.
Hope this is helpful.   Mary
