1841 census look up please
« on: Thursday 04 January 07 13:11 GMT (UK) »
Could anyone with access to the 1841 census for Fife please look details of the household including the following (possibly Auchterderran?)

William Crombie, age 44 (b 1797)

If it's the William I am looking for, place of birth would be Northumberland but even if not, there may be a tie in elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.

Using Freecen, I found this.

Burntisland Fife
William, m, 44, plasterer, Fife
Jane, f, 40, -, Fife
Alexander, m, 12, -, Fife
Henry, m, 7, -, Fife

Births:
ALEXANDER CROMBIE
Birth:  03 MAY 1829   
Christening:  17 MAY 1829   Burntisland, Fife, Scotland

HENRY CROMBIE
Birth:  12 AUG 1834   Burntisland, Fife, Scotland

And marriage of the parents:
WILLIAM CRUMBIE
Spouse: JEAN HUNTER

Sorry if this is the wrong family.

Added, another son:

Thanks very much.
Does Fife on the census refer to place of birth?  If so looks like I've drawn a blank.
Thanks again.

On the 1841 census, people were recorded as either being born in or outside the census county. The above were all shown to be born in Fife. Do you know who William married and/or any children that might be with him?

I only know of his siblings - James, Elizabeth, Hannah, Jane, John & Robert , all born around Newcastle, & parents.  Because I couldn't find him in England, I wondered if he had returned to his father's home county - Robert Cromie, b 17770 Abbotshall, Fife.  Just a shot in the dark really.  The spellings of the children's surnames all vary from Cromie, to Cromby to Crombie , which doesn't help.  I will have another go south of hte border!

Thanks again for your efforts.
