Would it be possible for some person to have a look at the 1841 census for William Ferguson born about 1832 born and still residing in Dumfriesshire.

many regards

Hi Alf

It would probably help people doing any searches for you if you could include any other info you might have re William such as parents' names or any other known siblings or place names.

There is also 68% coverage of Dumfries-shire to date on 1841 FreeCen at http://freecen.rootsweb.com. You might be lucky and find your William there. Remember to try for variants of spellings, eg some Ferguson entries are down as Fergusson.

Regards.

Monica

Well,  ::) His job isn't going to come up on the 1841, as he would have been about 9.  Have you looked for him 1851?
