1841/1851 Census look-up please
« on: Wednesday 16 March 05 21:20 GMT (UK) »
Can someone help me find this family?
I'm wondering if Mr. Thomson split at some point.  I think that I found Jane dying in the Cunninghame Poorhouse in 1867 under the name Jane Banks (single).

I'm hoping the 1841 or 1851 census might shed some light.

John Thomson born?
Jean/Jane Banks   b. abt 1790-95 Irvine, Ayrshire
married:  8 Jul 1823 Irvine, Ayrshire

Margaret b. 10 May 1823 Irvine, Ayrshire (yup- before their marriage)
John b. 29 may 1825 Irvine, Ayrshire
Jane b. 11 jun 1827 Irvine, Ayrshire

Thanks a bunch!

Kate
