Gorman family in Dalry 1861 cencus

[Croy Girl]

Hi

Ive been researching my family tree for a good number of years and have decided to go back over my Gorman side.

Wondering if anyone can help.My mums gran was Elizabeth Gorman born 1857 in Cadder Lanarkshire.Her father was Samuel Gorman ,mother Susan Proter.both from Ireland.

My problem is that on the 1861 cencus for Dalry  in Ayrshire Elizabeth isn't on it.Her mum susan  father Samuel and brother James Gorman age 2 are on it but she is missing.

She was born 9th January 1857, so she would have been 3 nearly four when the cencus was taken.

Wasted loads on Scotlands people .

The only Elizabeth Gorman I can get is one in Edinburgh age 3 but its not her.

1861 shows brother James was born Ireland

So - Elizabeth was b Lanark 1857
James b Ireland 1858/59

Yes Carol

Forgot that James was born Ireland.

Always wondered if they went over to visit family and Susan gave birth in Ireland.

James died age 17 after mining accident.They also had Samuel who died age 10 1870 ,after accident at iron pit where a waggon killed him

.Also Ellen and patrick gorman died in Dalry when they were months old.Only one that survived in to adulthood was my Great gran Lizzie Gorman Mclaren.

Thinking if i  could find her in the cencus, maybe find more relatives of Samuel Gorman.Maybe a brother or sister or parents.Or maybe she was at a friends house.

Hi

They also had Samuel who died age 10 1870

If he was 10 in 1870 - he must have been born before the 1861 census but is not with the family.

Samuel was born 1863 .Died 1872.Sorry my mistake.

Samuel Gormans wife Susan procter died 1870.And Samuel married a Mary Obrian 1870 or 1871.

Samuel Gorman died 1899.That was the year my grandfather married and my mums oldest sister was born.
