1851/61 Census lookup please - Cairns

[wmather]

Can anyone help me with a look up of the 1851 or 1861 for the family of William Cairns & Grace Gillies in Cumbernauld.

I have the following children

George b 1832 Barony
James b 1835 Barony
Marion b 1838 Barony
William b 1840 Barony
Marion b 1841 Barony
Elizabeth b 1844 Barony
John b 1848 Cumbernauld

I originally thought that this was the entire family but I have come across another birth for a William Cairns, Born 16th March 1846 and Baptised 5th April 1846 in Barony.  The parents given are William Cairns and Grace Cairns.

As the family had moved to Cumbernauld some time between 1844 and 1848 I am trying to establish if this William is shown with the family in 1851 or 1861.

Marion (born 1840) was married in Cumbernauld in Oct 1860 so there is a good chance the family were still there in 1861.

Thanks Joe,

The 1851 Census showing William aged 4 ties in with the William born in Barony in 1846.

Many Thanks.

William
