1851 census lookup: WAUGH family, DNB

[bmanson]

Looking for the Joseph WAUGH and Catherine HANLON family whose son William was born c. 1838 in Ireland.  We know William (my gg grandfather) married in 1861 in Alexandria; both parents were living at the time of William's marriage.

Again, thank you.  Having a possibility in Leith on the 1851 helps a lot with the 'Irish' born William Waugh.
