McKechnie, Argyllshire help 1826
« on: Sunday 01 May 05 22:10 BST (UK) »
Hi all

Having a big brick wall with this ancestor.  The 1881 census for Lanarkshire states he was from Argyllshire, born about 1826 and a farmer of 100 acres at South Hirst Farm, Shotts.  Cannot find him anywhere in Argyllshire but he married in 1862 at Shotts in Lanarkshire to Janet Watson (cannot find her birth).  Where can I find the census info for Argyllshire 1841 or 1851 to find which village he was born in?

Many thanks
