Sorry, Chrissy, just realised you haven't yet seen the Livingston/Hanson 1851 transcription. Here it is:

Hugh Livingston 36, Woollen Weaver b. Blackburn, Linlithgowshire
Catherine Livingston 34 b. Tillicoultry
Hugh Livingston 14, Woollen Piecer b. Glasgow
Robert Livingston 11 b. Glasgow, Doing Nothing....
Margaret Livingston 8 b. Glasgow, Doing Nothing
Catherine Fleming 6 b. Tillicoultry, Doing Nothing
Agnes Livingston 4 b. Blackburn, Linlithgowshire, yep, still doing nothing!
Isabella Hanson 17 Winds Yarn, b. Dundee
William Hanson 15, Woolspinner b. Dundee
Cecilia Hanson 15, Woolpletter, b. Dundee
Agnes Hanson 13, Woolpeicer b. Dundee
Mary Hanson 11, b. Dunblane, Perthshire

Address:    Coalsnaughton, Tillicoultry

The transcript as you know shows the Hanson children as sons/daughters and the two names Livingston and Hanson are used. This is the area where the transcript has probably made errors in what it shows.

Hi Monica

Just found some notes in an email sent to me from another root chatter years ago

1851 census of Blairs Land Coalsnaughton

Isabella..age 17...yarn winder..born Dundee
Cecilia...age 15...wool pletter..born Dundee
William....age 15...Wool Spinner......born Dundee
Agnes...age 13..Wool Piecer...Born Dundee
Mary...age 11...born Dunblane

(the Catherine Hanson who appeared in the 1841 census may have married Hugh Livingston as she lives next door)

Isabella Hanson in 1853 married William Hunter in Clackmannon he occupation was given as Coal Miner and hers as a Yarn Winder

As you can see from that proposed entry given to me...Anne and Robert are not on it .

Anne married Edward Murray in 1848 in tillicoultry and immigrated in August of 1852 to Australia

Robert married Jane Nicholson in 1852 in Dunblane and 3 weeks later immigrated to Australia .

In 1851 as mentioned before Anne was living at 13 Stevenson Street Renfrewshire and the mother was with her .

Chrissy, until you look at the original image of the 1851 census page, you won't be certain of the link between the Hanson chilren and the Livingstons and how it has actually been written up. It could simply be that there are two separate households (maybe living together) that have been incorrectly written up together. All guesses though until you confirm from the image.
