1871 census look up please
« on: Thursday 30 August 07 14:38 BST (UK) »
Could someone try and find a Margaret Farish in the 1871 census.  She was born c 1863 and died 1881.  Her name is on her grandparent's grave stone in Dumfries.  Therefore the census could be Dumfries.  Her grandparents were married in Edinburgh but as yet I have not worked out who her parents were.  It is possible her mother was either Mary, Ellen or Jessie???

Any help would be great.

1871 Census, 105 English Street, Dumfries, Drumfriesshire

John J. Farish         32       Clerk       b.Langholm, Dumfriesshire
Isabella Farish       44                      b.Dumfries
Helen Farish          13                      b.Edinburgh

George G.W. Farish  3                        ditto
Henry J.J. Farish   10 mos.                 ditto

Margaret Farish d. 18/3/1881 at 9h 30m a.m. at what looks like 19 Queens Place, Dumfries, of Phthisis Pulmonitis - daughter of John James Farish, factor, (deceased) and Isabella Farish, m.s. Kerr.    The  informant was Helen Farish, sister.

The IGI shows Margaret was b.14/7/1864 Dumfries - her parents John James Farish and Isabella Kerr married 3/11/1857 Leith, Midlothian.

Brilliant, thanks Annette for all the information.  It certainly looks like the right person. 

It is the Kerr connection that I am following so with the grave stone information and what you have given me  about Isabella being a Kerr I am following the right person.  I have still to tie them to another Kerr family but what you have given really helps.

Thanks again.

Betty
