1901 census look-up please
« on: Wednesday 27 December 06 23:13 GMT (UK) »
I have a family who was at 1 Littlejohn Street,  Dundee, Forfar in 1881 and 1891.  Would someone please look up this address or this family for me in 1901?
I can't find them! Perhaps the father died....


In 1891,

Onesipherus Bruce Leven was a widowed 38 year old sawmiller. He was born in Auchtermuchty, Fife. He seemed to have gone by "Bruce".

His sister in law Elizabeth Blyth, unmarried and 42 , (b. Newburgh, Fife) was living with him and his children.

The children included:
Janet 18, Christina 14 both born in Newburgh, Fife.

The other children were all born in Dundee, Forfar:

Richard, 11
Lizzie, 9
John, 7
David, 5

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
