Census lookup 1901 & pre 1861 Stobbie

[Emsworthy]

Hello all,

Still haven't got my subscription back, so I need a couple of look ups please.

James Stobbie
b.c.1836 Mordington, Berwickshire

I know he got married in 1858 in Ladykirk.  I have details of him up to 1891 when he was living in Durham, but not on the 1901 census (I guess that'd be another lookup request!).  He died in 1911 in the Easington district of Durham.

I wonder if anyone can find him pre 1861 please?

Many thanks,

Emma

Wozzle you are quite right .. I realised my mistake the minute I noticed the names of both Alison and Helen!

Hi,

Thanks for your time....there's always some important detail I miss!  He did marry Helen Gray...
