1871 census

[hazelnuts01]

Any one able to look up a name and address for me?

A Reid, Westray House, Avenue Road, Row.

I am assuming this is Row (Rhu) Helensburgh  -  name and address given as surety for an orphanage.

Thanks

Hi hazelnuts

I have only found one but name of house not same. I get it to be Westrae Browe House (st name not given)

But if right one family would seem to have been well to do as had a Cook and Housemaids.

And adults listed as being landowners.

House hold is :

Barbara C Reid - Head aged 68 - Landowner b Glasgow
Isabella Reid - sister - aged 63 (I think - big blob on top!)  - Landowner b GLASGOW
J Blackwood - aged 36 cook b Paisley
Catherine Allane aged 18 - housemaid b Hurlet
Andrew P Reid Visitor - aged 60 - Lanwoner b Glasgow
Janet P Reid Visitor aged 43 Landowner b Glasgow
jessie P Reid aged 4 Visitor b rosneath
Andrew P Reid aged 2  Visitor b Rosneath
Mary Murdock aged 30 Housemaid b Galston Ayrshire

Hope this is one
