1851 census look-up please, Hume.
« on: Wednesday 20 January 10 14:29 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone find this family in 1851? I don't have any other details apart from this census, so I'm not sure of exact birthplaces, etc. Parents possibly deceased, but then I can't say that with confidence either. :-\ Jean and Margaret possibly twins?

1841:

Address: St. Cuthbert's Lane, Edinburgh
Robert Hume, m, 50, cow feeder
Mary Hume, f, 45, -
William Hume, m, 20, labourer
Margaret Hume, f, 15, -
Jean Hume, f, 15, -
Mary Hume, f, 11, -
Andrew Hume, m, 8, -

All born outside the county.

Fantastic, wozzle. 8) I have now found a marriage between Robert and Mary [Pringle], but none of the children show in the births/bapt. unfortunately. It wasn't really the family I was searching for, but they could connect somewhere. ;D If it's not too much trouble, could you see if Robert and Mary survived to the 1861 census?

Thanks wozzle. :)

Cheers wozzle. Glad they survived past 1855, now I can get Robert's parents names ... hopefully. ;D I'll pick up his death certificate on my next visit to SP.
