Hi 

You might not have tried early enough Szac, SP has William Lin bpt. on 11 Dec 1818, Kilmory

(Betty, 1831 is down as Lin - they seem to be a mixture. I used Lin*)

I don't see them on the 1841  so far

This is very odd - they all seem to have disappeared  but I've found some more  sons for them on SP:

Kilmory:

15 March 1833 Archibald Lin
25 March 1835 Archibald Lin
11 April 1837 Alexander Linn



So, if they're not on the 1841, something happened between 1837 and 1841

Think I might have found a possible family in 1841 down as Lean:

All the children's ages and names fit.

Townhead Street, Irvine, Ayrshire
595 Ed 1 P 13

Lean
William, 48, carter, b. Ireland
Margaret, 40
Mary,12
Elisabeth, 10
Archibald, 6
Alexander, 4

All but William b. Scotland

Maybe Catherine died and William remarried - worth checking

On the 1851 - a poss but looks like the same Willam from 1841 (same address/occupation)

Townhead Street, Irvine
59 5ED 1 P 19

Linn
William, 60, carter, b. Ireland
Agnes, sister, 54, housekeeper, b. Ireland
William, son, 8, b. Irvine

1861

With daughter Elizabeth by the looks of it but she's down as boarder

Townhead, Irvine
595 ED 3  P 12

Linn
William, 72, carter, b. Ireland
William, son, 18, joiner's app, b. Irvine

Hello Elaine,

Just to link your Elizabeth Linn,

Donaldsons Land, Dreghorn, Ayr. 1881 census.

John Kerr, Head, Coal Miner, W. age 47 years, M. born Kirkcolm, Wigtown,
Jane Kerr, Daur, Housekeeper, U. age 21 years, F.  born Irvine,
William Kerr, Son Coal Miner, U. age 18 years, M. born Irvine,
John Kerr, Son Coal Miner, U. age 12 Years, M. born Irvine,
Catherine Kerr, Daur Scholar, U. age 12 years, F. born Irvine,
Agnes Kerr, Daur, Scholar, age 8 years, F. born Irvine,
Margaret Kerr, Daur, age 4 years, F. born Irvine,
Archibald Linn, Brother in Law, U. age 45 years, M. born Arran, Bute.

As Daval, told you Elizabeth Linn, the above John Kerr's, wife died 1877. and her brother Archibald Linn, above is living with John Kerr, that more or less ties things up along with the earlier post above.

Regards,
Jonn.

Haven't yet found a death for William - laptop is slow because of AV scan but will try to have another look later today.
