1871 census East Lothian
« on: Friday 29 February 08 21:30 GMT (UK) »
Please has anyone got access to the 1871 census for Prestonkirk.
I am looking for Andrew Leonard, his wife Jessie and their son John born November 1865, I am trying to find out if John had any siblings.
Hoping that someone can help me,
Best Wishes Bethan

Hello Bethan

Well, they're not in Scotland for this Census!

RG10 5469 19 32
Graig, Pendryn, Carmarthenshire, WALES!

Andrew Leonard, Head, 27, Gamekeeper, Scotland
Jessie, Wife, 30, Scotland
John, Son, 5, Scotland
David, Son, 4, Scotland
Andrew, Son, 2 Cumberland
Jessie M, Dau, 1, Cumberland

So they must have spent some time in Cumberland as well.

Kind regards

Thank you little Nell and Gaie for your help, you have both been very kind, I am tracing this family for a lady in America who wrote to my local paper seeking information, she herself is not on the net or obviously I would have pointed her towards Rootschat, because people like you make this the most helpful and friendly genealogical site ever!

Thank you again for your help, Best Wishes Bethan
