Hi Bikers Moll
Welcome to RootsChat!
The family is showing in the 1851 Census available to view free on line at
www.dumgal.gov.uk/historicalindexes/census.aspx. It would seem that Janet wife and mother of William may have died by this date, given the ages of most of the children and Robert may have remarried a lady called Agnes?
LAURIE Agness, wife of Robert Laurie, 28, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE Anne, daughter of Robert Laurie, WEAVER cotton, 14, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Laurie, 9, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE John, son of Robert Laurie, MINER 16, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE Margaret, daughter of Robert Laurie, 1, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE Robert, head, MINER, 38, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE William, son of Robert Laurie, 12, born Girthon Kbt
Address: 4 Swan Street, Village of Gatehouse(866)
Parish: Girthon Household No: 4/57
I also noticed there were Laurie families living at No.1 and No.3 Swan Street who may be related to Robert.
On IGI, there are only two children showing for Robert Laurie and Janet Lyons and the names and ages would correspond with the 1851 Census entry:
1. ANN LOURIE Christening: 20 MAR 1836 Girthon, Kirkcudbright, Scotland
2. ELIZABETH LAWRIE Christening: 28 NOV 1841 Girthon, Kirkcudbright, Scotland
Regards.
