1851 census look up please

[princess1]

Hi
Can any-one help please.
I am looking for

george watson m anne downie 30/01/1836 - i am assuming in 1851 they are living in boyndie or could be whitehills? They may have 2 children listed I am not sure as I only have 1 birth in 1850 of 3 children they had.  The one child born in 1850 was also george downie watson born whitehills.

Thanking you in anticipation

The 1851 census is now online at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk and a transcription of most parishes in Banffshire is online at http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl so you can look them up for yourself.

Is it possible that George Watson was married twice, as Henry and Margaret would appear to be too old to be children of Anne Downie, being born long before the wedding .

There is a Henry Watson born 29 Nov 1828, at Boyndie to George Watson and Jane Watson
also
Margaret Watson born 9 July 1832 (christened 17 July 1832) at Boyndie, also to George Watson and Jane Watson.

there is a marraige between George Watson and Jane Watson 4 Nov 1827 at Boyndie, Banff

(seems to fit with the census ages of Henry and Margaret.)
