A very big thank you to Carol and ev for the work you put in, I am certainly a lot further forward than I expected and you were both so quick to reply...what a great site this is! As I'm new to this it's taking me a wee while to absorb this info. I will get back to you with more questions when I figure out what I'm doing
The 1861 cencus seems quite accurate As Alexander Sinclair & Amelia's son' Alexander' (my grt grandfather )was definitely 5 yrs old then and in 1881 he was 25yrs old which again is spot on, did they tend to guess ages in the early censuses? as they do not seem to be very accurate. If any kind person could check the 1871 & 1891 censuses for any info on the family I would be most grateful. Alexander and amelia wer living in 'shore road', I believe.
Again a big thank you to everyone who's helping me......W
