Hi,
Looking for Alexander Reid/Fanny Wilson in the 1871 cenus.  Fanny was born in 1844. Children, Fanny born 1863/ William born about 1866 and maybe an Alexander born about 1871.

Hello Scully,

Alexander Reid, and Fanny Wilson, had the following children,

Alexander Reid, born 17/Dec/1870. Dreghorn, Ayr,
Mary Reid, born 28/Jan/1865. Dreghorn, Ayr,
William Reid, born 26/Jan/1867. Dreghorn, Ayr,
John Reid, born 01/Jan/1869. Dreghorn, Ayr,
Struthers Reid, born 07/Dec/1872. Dreghorn, Ayr,
Fanny Reid, born 08/Jul/1863. Irvine, Ayr.

By the time of the 1881. census, Fanny, is a widow.

46 High Street, Irvine,

Reid Fanny, Head, General Merchant, W. age 36 years, born Irvine,
Reid Fanny, Daur, Dress Maker, U. age 17 years, born Irvine,
Reid William, Son, Grocer, U. age 14 years, born Irvine,

If you are wondering about the first name Struthers, for daughter aged 8 years, well that came from Fanny's, mother that was her first name.

Hi John,
Thanks for the information. I hope you don,t mind me asking but where did you get Fanny,s mothers name Struthers from as it look like i might be following the wrong Fanny as i was hoping her parents were John Wilson and Margaret Cruickshank.

With one problem - her death cert of 1903 states her father to be William Wilson. I think the informant was a little out with the name  :-\

Hi John & Gadget,
 I got a bit mixed up  with Fanny as i had her down with John and Margaret Wilson. I need to find John and Margaret Wilson in the 1851 & 1861 Cenus, I Know John was a blacksmith maybe then i can find out exactly how many children he had as i have him down with 7 children from 1827 till 1841, Two seem to be born before he married.  Well thanks for your information it saved me following the wrong track.

Regards
Scully
