Census look up please 1851 and 1861

[specialkg]

I apologise now if I am in the wrong area.

I am looking for someone with access to the 1851 and 1861 censuses.

I am looking for a John Morren who was born c 1801 and was married to Helen Leslie.  They had at least four girls and four boys between 1833 and 1854. According to the IGI some were born at Auchindoir and Kearn.  Their names were Rachel, George, Sarah, William, John, Helen, Hugh and Jane.

I have been told that they lived at Barflat early on and Mortlach Dufftown later in life.

Any help with this would be great.

Cheers
Betty

maybe some kind soul can follow this family on the 1871 census

That is brilliant. Much more than I expected. 

I take it Barflet was an area of Auchindoir back in the 1800s.

Can I ask you to see if you can find John Morren's father in the 1841 census.   His name was William but the spelling of Morren may be Murrion or Murian.  He was born c 1761 and died on 5th July 1844.  It is thought that he lived at Barfelt.  His wife Mary died in 1836.

I am not sure where the Jane you found in the 1861 census fits in yet but thank you for that.

Thanks again

Cheers
Betty.

now i have a problem......hoping that gadget or monica could lend a hand here...

the william that was on the 1841 census (son of john) looks like he is in hospital in 1851 (address; robert gordon hospital..william, aged 10) but the jane in the census of 1861 was jane watt married to william morren???

now in the 1861 census it states that she is the wife of a ploughman, well....

1861 census; new noth, rhynie, aberdeenshire

william...age 31...ploughman...born auchindoir


how can this be? is he a cousin of your john?

Joe

So far I have not picked up on another William apart from John having a brother William who died in infancy.  He was born in 1797.

I have William's son being baptised c1839 which would make the age of 10 correct in 1851.  He married Margaret Adams in 1870 and had two children George and Margaret.

Thanks again for your help.
