Brilliant, thanks for the quick reply.

They are definitely my lot but where did William Duncan come from.

I knew he existed but don't have him in the 1891 census with his parents James and Isabella Duncan and James, John and Annie.

Can you see any record of him.

Your help is much appreciated

Hi Betty,

1891 Census - Living in the Village of Urquhart

John Williamson Head, b.1829, Elgin, Saw Miller
Margaret Williamson, Wife, b.1831, Cumberland
George Hutchinson, Serv, b. 1855, Northumberland, Traction Engine Driver
Annie Melvin, Visitor, b.1868, Urquhart
William Duncan, Grandson, b.1884, Urquhart
Margaret Dochar, Visitor, b.1886, Easnorth
John Melvin, Grandson, b.1890, Aberdeen.

There is a difference in John Williamson's birthdate from the 1901 census to the above, therefore I presume there is an error in the transcription. Also John is married to a Margaret, did he remarry? Having said all that I'm hoping they are the correct family.  :)

Regards

JJ

Thanks JJ for the census.

You have the correct John. His first wife Margaret died.  You have now given me the married name of a daughter, which is brilliant.

I will away and put together the new information I now have thanks to you giving me these censuses.

Thanks for your time

Betty
