« on: Thursday 15 April 10 18:11 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Could some kind soul please help me find William Morris and his family in the 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1881 censuses? He passed away in 1883 Auchterarder, Perthshire
Here he is with his family in the 1841 census:
1841 Boungrian, Findo Gask, Perthshire
William Morris                35, b. Perthshire, Scotland (Ag Labourer)
Elisabeth Morris     25, b. Perthshire, Scotland
James Morris                5, b. Perthshire, Scotland
Elisabeth Morris    2, b. Perthshire, Scotland
Henrietta Morris    2 Mo, b. Perthshire, Scotland

Thank you

 Auchterarder; ED: 10; Page:  9; Line: 7
For some reason this family weren't coming up quickly.
In 1861 I have found them at the above reference.
They were living at Windsole, Auchterarder. Father, William was 61, a Farmer who employed 5 men and he was born Kinaird, Perth. With him were the following children:
Janet, 26, General worker; Euphemia, 15, General worker; Peter, 11, scholar; William, 6, scholar. All born Gask except William jnr who was born Auchterarder.

Not I didn't, thanks very much for the information! May I ask what your source for the burials is, and if you know the burial dates?

My source is the book 'south perthshire, lower strathearn monumental inscriptions' by John Mitchell and Sheila MacBeth/Mitchell, edited by Alison Mitchell. I had a look for other members of the Morris family but none fitted. No burial dates are given.

Cheers.
Aye, you won't find any other Morris inscriptions there as they came from another part of Perth (Kinnaird).
Are there any inscriptions for Elizabeth's parents and grandparents though?
Peter Duncan (born 1789 Findo-Gask) and wife Agnes Gemmel/Gamelin (married 1811 Findo-Gask) and
Alexander Duncan and his wife Elizabeth Fenton (married 1781 Findo-Gask)

Gask Cemetery:
No. 11 :
Alex Duncan mason Clathie d 9.3.1827 79, w Elis Fenton 20.5.1841 91, by Laurance Duncan mason Clathie. [west side] 1830. Laurance Duncan 26.6.1859. 
It says that carved on the stone were setsquare and dividers, plumbline and level.
The other information I sent to you was No 13.
In case there is a connection here are Nos 12 and 14:
No 12: Wm Niven fr Greenbog Blackford 11.8.1902 68, w Janet Morris 1.4.1904 68, sons Jas d inf, Wm d London 27.2 1898 int Woolwich Cemetery.
No 14: [next 13] David Gardiner d Clathy 12.7.1905 72, w Agnes Morris 24.1 1907 72, chn: Peter d at Hillside Home, Perth 31.5 1921 54, Agnes 26.10.1921 70
The only other Duncan in the Gask M.I's is:
Wm Kemp in Clathey 28.12.1842 69 w Mary Duncan 17.7.1839 66, son Peter 22.2.1828 24
There are none for Peter Duncan and Agnes Gemmel/Gamelin in the whole of the book.
I am happy that the book is being put to use as none of my ancestors are in it! Will be happy to help with anything else.

Wow this is great information excel thank you, I have driven right past Findo-Gask before, totally unaware I had ancestors interred there.
It's a pity Elizabeth Fenton didn't survive a few weeks to be on the 1841 census... but it's possible Peter Duncan and/or wife Agnes Gemme/Gamelin are on it; can you find them?

Also, is there any inscription for:
-John Don in Crieff?
-Duncan and Andrew McAra in Monzie?
-Archibald Campbell in Fowlis Wester or Monzie?

And do you happen to have any other Perthshire pre-1855 MIs books? I have Perthshire North. Vol.1, but that's it
