On the 1881 census (Rothbury RG11/5139 Folio 18 Page 3) which you can see free of charge at http://www.familysearch.org/ there is a James Anderson aged 34 from Elsdon who is a Shepherd and a Widower with four children.

Could one of those children be your great grandparent ?

Hi DS
Thank you so much for the information you sent me, you've been a great help.  The only info I had on that family is my great grandmother, (Isabel Anderson B. 1879 D. 1943)  death cert. which names her father: James Anderson, (shepherd) mother: Barbara Nichol. I found a marriage for James Anderson and Barbara Nichol 1871 Alwinton, Northumberland.
The 1881 census for James Anderson looks like it could be right, What do you think?
I really appreciate all your help.
Thank again
Julie

Hi Julie

I am fairly certain that this is the James Anderson from the 1881 census.....

Jane do Wife M 37 Northumberland Falstone

James do Son U 17 Northumberland Elsdon

Ann was the mother of James but she died in 1866 (see FreeBMD) and Edward married the servant.....

Probable Marriage Registration

1871 Rothbury JFM quarter 10b 467

Edward Anderson
Jane Glendinning

This is the same reference as the marriage of James and Barbara. They must have all married at the same time.

Probable Marriage Registration

1839 Rothbury AMJ quarter 25 425

Edward Anderson
Ann Heslip (sic)

On the 1881 census, the full name of the daughter aged 7 is Annie Heslop Anderson. The fact that there is also Isabella (plus all of the other circumstantial evidence above) suggests to me that this is almost certainly the correct family......but please don’t take my word for it....try and check it for yourself, if possible.

Best wishes

It looks like James married again....
