1861 Census Lookup

[dinarina]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone out there is able to do a census lookup for 1861. I have found this person on the 1851 & 1871 census, but do not have access to the 1861 one - it may show some information.

Robert Sanders (living Newton, Wamphray) on both the 1851 & 1871 census. He will be approx 88 years of age & a master shoemaker, so it is very likely that he will be on the 1861 Wamphray census. I believe he was born in Lochmaben parish. It should show him as a widower - unless he remarried. If it isn't too much bother, is it possible to let me know the other "Sanders" listed in Wamphray parish at that time as well - there is a strong possibility that they are all connected - just trying to tie everything together. He had a son called John, shoemaker also (born c1803 @ Wamphray) and daughter Elspeth, dressmaker (born c1819 @ Wamphray).

Any help would be gratefully appreciated and thankyou in advance for your co-operation.

Kind regards
Diane

Hiya Diane,

You've got very very lucky    I went the library tonight and managed to get onto the Wamphray film.

Here's what I found...

MI from Gilchrist's pre 1855 memorials transcriptions: 

72. In Memory of James son of William Sanders, surgeon in Wamphray and Mary Jardine died 4th May 1855 at Ellesmere Scarboro Canada West - no age given (then post 1855 inscriptions)


Don't know if the surgeons are related but thought I'd check the Gilchrist and they were mentioned so I included them.

Gilchrist only includes pre 1855 inscriptions.

Hope these help,
Pam

Hi Pam,
Thanks very much for the information. At the moment I haven't made any positive connection with the surgeon, although further down my Sa(u)nders line there is an Archibald Sanders who was a doctor/surgeon - so anything is possible.
With regards to Robert Sa(u)nders - he is definitely mine and I see he had quite a few grandchildren living with him. That gives me something else to work on now.

Greatly appreciate all your help

Regards
Diane
