1861 Census look up please
« on: Wednesday 30 April 08 15:42 BST (UK) »
Can anyone find me 174 High Street, Elgin in the 1861 census.

I am trying to find a Jessie Bain.  She was lodging there at the beginning of October 1861 but she was a housekeeper in Forres, so might be recorded there at the time of the census.

I don't know her age, which does not help as there are quite a lot of  people with the name Jessie Bain or where she was born.

I thought if I could see whose lodging house this was it might give me a clue.

I do know she was deceased by June 1881.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Betty

Thanks for that.

I had found that one and have kept it as a possible. 

I have tried just putting in 174 High Street, Elgin  but nothing comes up.

Thanks for your time.
