1881 Scottish Census look up please.
« on: Saturday 02 April 11 17:56 BST (UK) »
Could anyone find me an address for Margaret Dolan, born Ireland abt 1861 on the 1881 Scottish census please?
In 1871, she was living in Markle, Prestonkirk, and in 1883 she married John Blessington who was living at 8 Poldrate in 1881. They married at St Mary's, Haddington.

There is a Margaret Dolan age 21 listed as a servant at Rigganhead Farm House, Tranent, Haddington but her birthplace is given as North Berwick. (Family name is Perme)

If you include Ireland as a birthplace the only Margaret Dolans that come up are older and already married although there is one 15 year old Maggie Dolan living at 30 Croft St, Galashiels, Selkirk (She is one of four sisters living at that address (Ann 22 Helen 20 Kate 19) all millworkers.

Thanks Falkryn,
None of those sound very likely unless the birth place on the Tranent one is wrong!
 Isn't it a devil when they 'disappear' like this?
Thanks anyway,
Cheers,
Pat.

Did your Margaret give a trade or occupation when she got married in 1883 ?
