Morris family census lookup please

[excel]

I can only find Peter Don, Shoemaker, Crieff, w Barbara Scott 28.10.1810 56 in the Crieff M.I's and Amelia Don 11.3.1772 35 w of Robt Duncan. chn: Geo, Janet, John, Robt.   R 1777 D.   F D. [this must have been difficult to read].
There are several Donald McAra's but so far haven't found any Duncans. [Although Donald and Duncan I think are interchangeable]. If you can give me an approx d.o.b/death I can see if there is anything possible.
The only Andrew I have found at Monzie was in this M.I
Donald McAra d. Dundurn 12.11.1875, w Janet McAinsh 19.11.1864, das betsy 15.11.1865 13 & Mary jessie 28.2.1875 19, s Peter 20.9.1910 60, Andw 26.2.1936 87 da Margt 20.5.1940 82
In the notes section: SC 49 some marriage contracts: Andw McAra in Connachan & Catherine Campbell

I have McRaw's in that area who seem to interlink with McAras. They were connected with Connachan Farm, Fowlis Wester and I have found headstones in Monzie graveyard.

Cheers. I'm not sure if any of those are related, but that Peter Don is a good clue because my John Don (b. abt 1768 Crieff, d. abt 1846 Crieff) was also a shoemaker.

My McAras are:
-Elizabeth who married Peter McLaren 1803 in Crieff and Muthill, and whose children were born in Muthill.
-Her parents Duncan and Anne Morrison who married and Crieff in 1784, and whose children were born in Monzievaird.
I'm not sure but I believe Duncan to be the son of Andrew McAra and Anne Tansh, married 1744 Monzie, having ten children born there.

Did you check for the Duncans on the censuses? I was just searching the ScotlandsPeople indexes and found a 1862 Findo-Gask death for Agnes Duncan née Gemmel. I can't find a likely Peter Duncan death, so it's likely he died pre-1855. (though there's a 1861 will that might be his)

Sorry, I didn't have time to look things up yesterday.
I'm not sure if the following is the correct family as I could find no Peter Duncans with a wife called Agnes:
1841 Clathy, Perthshire Findo Gask; ED: 1; Page:  6; Line: 530
Peter Duncan, 45, Farmer, bc 1796 [but this is the 1841 census where ages were out about 5yrs
Ann Duncan, 45, bc 1796, Scotland
There were youngsters with them with surname of Scharton [not sure this is correct], Mary 14 and Jean 9; Matilda Seaton, 19; all born Scotland. No occupations beside any of them so perhaps they were relatives? The others on the page were all Ag Labs.
* have just found a Matilda Seaton b, 1821, Dunoon; parents James Seaton and Catherine McIsaac, the latter was an Ag Lab with the Duncans in 1841.
1851 Clathy Village  Findo Gask; ED: 1; Page:  1; Line: 12
Peter Duncan, 60, Farmer of 16 acres emp., 1 servant, born Gask
Ann Duncan, 58, b. Muirkirk, Ayrshire
Sanson Cook, 19, Agricultural Servant, b Masaty [Madderty?] Perthshire.
1861 Clathy Village Findo Gask; Findo Gask; ED: 1; Page:  15; Line: 6
Ann Duncan, 70, occupation [Findklder]!, bc 1791, Muirkirk, Ayrshire
If Agnes was called Ann then Peter may have died either before the census was taken on the 7th April 1816 or pre- registration

McAra:
I don't see any connection with yours but they all lived around that area of Monzie, Monzievaird as did my McRaw/Gould/Guild, McIntyre ancestors.

Thanks again excel, I'm 95% sure that's my family. I'll have to wait till my next time in Edinburgh to check the census images to see what Ann/Agnes' occupation actually was in 1861.
I've been looking at possible census entries for ancestors on the free index on Ancestry, and was wondering if you could give me the household of the following three to see whether or not they fit in with my family:
-Elizabeth Mclaren      abt 1785     Perthshire, Scotland     Crieff     Perthshire
-Ann McAra      abt 1771     Perthshire, Scotland     Crieff     Perthshire
-Jannet Whittet      abt 1771     Perthshire, Scotland     Kinnaird     Perthshire

1841 Elizabeth McLaren was living with Donald McLaren 59, a Weaver and James McLaren, 36, Ag Lab at Milnrodgie, Crieff.
I can't work out if they were alive in 1851 or not.
1841 at Barnside Fendock, Crieff, Ann McAra, 70, was a Pendicler; In same house were Charles McKinchen, 15, Ag Lab, b. Perthshire and Elizabeth Walker,12, Farm Servant, b. Perthshire
I can't see her in 1851.
1851 at Carriers House, Kinnaird, Janet Whittet, Aunt, 84, Lodger, born Kinnaird. She was living with Alexander Duncan, 50, a Carrier, b. Kinnaird, his wife Jane, and family. She was also with them in the 1841 Census. She was no longer with them in 1861.

Thanks again excel.
Could you please see if you could find the family of an Archibald Campbell in the censuses? I know from another record that in 1842 he was working as a Labourer in Fowlis-Wester, county of Perth, so he should be there in 1841, and possibly in other censuses if he was still alive.
Also, could you also see if you could find Mary Watson née Nicol on the 1841 census (possibly with husband James Watson if he was still alive)? She was born circa 1799 and should be in the city of Perth (she died there 11 Dec 1847).
Thirdly I'm looking for couple Robert Bruce (weaver) and wife Jean Watt (married 1789) on the censuses (should be in the city of Perth), hopefully at least one of them was alive for a census or two.
Cheers

Will see what I can find and pm you.

Hi

I noticed your post Morris family Clathy Gask Perth.

I have quite a bit of information such as photographs dating way back that we believe to be the Morrison family.  In the family tree it refers to Morris or Morrison. The two gravestones at Gask one William Morrison and the other Alexander Duncan are our relatives.  Archibald Campbell is the grandfather of William Torrance who married Elizabeth Fenton Morrison. My great great grandparents.  If you wish more information get in touch.
