1871 Alexander Cameron

[mangomania]

Hi

I haven't been able to find my ggf in 1871 - he was born in Morvern (or maybe Oban) in 1851 - he's not with his mother and siblings in Oban in 71, but may be with his father (Alexander, born Carna 1816/17 - occ. Mason).  I have a possible for his father in Easdale but Alexander jnr isn't there)

In later life he was a Publican (81) & shoemaker (91).

Any help would be welcome.

Thanks
Ian

Hi Joe

1861
High St, Oban

Alexander Cameron 45 Labourer b.Morvern
Janet                        44                     "
Isabella                    17  Dom Servt
ALEXANDER                7 Scholar         "
Donald                       3                          "

From other censuses I believe the age of 7 is a misread 9
