One entry from 1841 that might fit, although children's ages a few years out...Everyone born in the county:

Margaret Williamson 50
Richard Williamson 13
John Williamson 11
Charles Williamson 9

Address: English Street, Dumfries

By co-incidence, cupcake has a post running on English Street here www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,629568.0.html

Wow!!! Thank you Monica...! I have the marriage so the banns information is new thank you. The children i have, and i looked at the 1841 census for English Street but the ages put me off a bit but i guess they weren't always accurate and i will have another look at this info. Also i will have a look at the link by cupcake.

Why didn't i join this forum earlier! It was recommended by some one and they were right - it is full of very knowledgeable and helpful people

Which of their children are you following? I could only see Richard b. 1830 on the 1851 census with an Annan birth place.

I am following Charles Williamson born on 14th and baptised on 23rd December 1825 who is my Great great grandfather and married Margaret Murray in 1862 in Liverpool. I have ordered their marriage certificate to confirm dates and names etc. I am a bit wary as Charles would have been about 37yrs old then so possibly it was their second marriage???

[MonicaL]

If not a second marriage, then certainly a late marriage given ages?:

You will have this I am sure, but just for background here:

Charles Williams 45 Joiner b. Scotland
Margret Williams 43 b. Scotland
Peter Williams 8
John Williams 5
Margret Williams 3
James Williamson 1
Andrew Murray 24 boarder b. Scotland

Yes..you just imagine that everyone was married in their early 20's but maybe they were just waiting for the 'right one'. Had a moment of panic over that census..it rung a bell but couldn't find my copy..then found it..that's the problem with using multiple sites..or more likely its my lack of organisation...
