Black family of Paisley - census lookup

[andrew shanks]

I would be grateful if someone could look up the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census records for Robert Black and Agness Arnott who were married in 1840 at Paisley.

They had at least 2 children:
Ann Jane b1841 at Paisley; and
John b1851 at Neilston.

Hi Coonwarra,
not an answer to your question, sorry, just anther question. I have Mary Black married to Peter Fletcher in Paisley in 1845. I think she had a son Alexander. She died before 1850 as Peter  re married again.(He had 4 wives total)
Could she be one of yours?
Cheers

Hi Freckle

I guess it is entirely possible that there is a connection between Robert & Mary - possibly even that they were brother & sister?

Unfortunately, I don't know at this stage who Robert's parents were.

I've had a look at the 1851 census but have been unable to find a pair that matched the names you have given...
In 1851 there is a Ralph Black with wife Agness living in Neilston and they have a daughter Ann Jane Black (although she was born in 1845 , a little later than yours )


PS the 1851 census for Barrhead & Neilston can be searched freely online at

Hi Falkyrn

Thank you for this information.  I will have a look through the census records to see whether anything looks familiar.

Hi Coonwarra
I dont know if this is any help to you I have a copy of a death cert of a Jane McCorkindale aged 63 died 1883
the informant on the death cert is a Robert Black son in law
I see from your surname interests that you have the name corkindale and Black
so just wondered if this was one of yours
I have the same only mine is McCorkindale hence why I downloaded this death cert
