1841 Census lookup - HARPER
« on: Monday 27 December 04 10:51 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for William Harper, b abt 1840, David Harper, born abt 1836 and Robert Harper born abt 1835. Found them in 1851 census for Paisley with grandparents. I don't know who their parents are, so a lookup in 1841 census may help. Can someone oblige?

Do you know where is Paisley?  Low, Middle, High? Might be able to help with 1841.

Thanks for offer. I have ancestors in both Low and High Paisley, Renfrewshire. Therefore, would probably need to look in both, but start with Low.
Hope you find something, thanks
