Hi there,

Do you know Marie Watson's maiden name - as you will need that to find her on the 1881 census?

Cheers,
Clare
ELLIOT, CROZIER, HAY, AITCHISON, COWAN - Roxburghshire
BETT - Kinross-shire, Fife and Glasgow
CHAMBERS, BRUFF, WESTMACOTT - Glasgow
And many, many more...

Hi there,

Here is what I have found so far...

Volume 644-5 EnumDist 23 Page 9
209 High St 
Alexander, LANG, Son, 2, M, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Alexander, LANG, Head, Married,   33,M, General Labourer, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland    
Marion, LANG, Daughter,   Unmarried, 11, F, Scholar, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland    
Robert, LANG, Son, 5, M, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

This was the only Lang of the correct age in Glasgow with a name starting 'Mari' (to catch Marie and Maria)

As for James, he is more difficult to track down as there are so many people on the census with that name.  Do you know his parents' names to see if we can cross reference them?

Cheers,
Clare
