Silburn?

[parky96]

Can anyone tell me if Silburn is in Northumberland?
I have just found it written on a census other members of the family came from Carham which was written as north and Coldstream which came in as scotland.

[Ecneps]

Is it clearly written?  If not, would you like to post the census ref?  Is it the same in another census?

Carham is very near Coldstream, but no Silburn nearby (and I haven't heard of it in Northumberland)

Simonburn perhaps?

1851 census
HO107/2422 Folio 345 Page 10

It is for Andrew McDougal and family 1851 cant seem to find them in any other census just trying variations on their name now.

I see the last child born Ilderton, which is near Lilburn - now why didn't I think of that one?

Is Lilburn in the same area i have a map in front of me but it hasnt got Lilburn listed

[Ecneps]

indexed under McCougal in 1871 RG10/5192 fol.30 p.5 and living at Lilburn!

Try www.genuki.org.uk enter it in the gazetteer then click on map reference - it's just east of Ilderton  up above Alnwick, not near Carham!

Thanks for that Barbara.
How are supposed to find people if they are indexed wrongly i suppose it keeps me on my toes

I tried just Reb* no surname and date & place of birth   

Often a good idea to miss off surname or first name etc and see what shows up that way -- --

It's double L in McDougall in 1881
Rebekah MacDougal born Wark in 1861 census
Rebecca McDougal in 1841
