Stevenson 1851 census, Kilbarchan
« on: Thursday 08 November 07 16:23 GMT (UK) »
Trying to trace my wifes GGF John Stevenson, b abt 1834 Kilbarchan.  John had a brother James.

Original line of enquiry via other family members led me to the Stevensons of Barnbeth, but no John appears in 1841 census.

However John, son of William and Rebecca of correct age appears at Linwood Village. They also had a son younger son James

If anyone is looking up 1851 census I'd be interested to find out any clues as to whereabouts of  John (age 17), and James (age 14)
Stark, Walker, Britteon, Mummery, Watts, Murrell, Moyes, Stirk, Tullos, Swan, Sterry,  Clark(e), Howe, Starling, Purkis, Stubbings, McWilliam,Stevenson, Strachan, McGregor, Littlejohn, Kirkwood, Orr
