1841/51 Census Tiree - completed

[Annette Witherby]

Would anyone have a Tiree census?  I am looking for the following family:

Walter SINCLAIR     b abt. 1779 in Tiree.
Marion SINCLAIR (McArthur)     ch 1782  B Tiree
I do not know when they died.

Angus SINCLAIR     Ch 1809    b Tiree.  I have no other record of Angus at all.
His brother had moved to  Kirkcudbright by the time of the 1841 census.
Farquhar  SINCLAIR   b abt 1812   b Tiree

Any help would be appreciated.

Scotlands people has 25 individuals named Sinclair in the 1841 census for Tiree No walter and the Marion Sinclair listed is aged 25.

I have only recently discovered a Marion Sinclair from Tiree in one of my lines born around 1780 who married a Hugh McFarlane

Had a credit on SP so had a search.  There are two Walter's in 1841.  One is in Tyree aged 20....surname spelt "SINCLAR".

Might just be related to your man.

Hello Mo,

Thankyou for your trouble.

Sadly none of these names I recognise.   If only!

If I ever find out if Walter had any brothers or sisters it would be a great help.
Thanks again Mo.
