STRATHDEE, Fordyce 1851 lookup please
« on: Tuesday 05 July 05 09:08 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have access to the 1851 census for Fordyce?  If so, would it be possible to look for the STRATHDEE family.  This is how they were in 1841:

 1841 census
   Place: Fordyce-Banffshire
   Civil Parish: Fordyce    Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: Portsoy Quoad Sacra
   Address: Ardenbath
    STRATHDEE   George   M   50   Crofter    Banffshire     
    STRATHDEE   Elizabeth   F   50       Banffshire   
    STRATHDEE   William   M   25       Banffshire     
    STRATHDEE   Mary   F   15       Banffshire     
    STRATHDEE   James   M   8       Banffshire 

Am particularly interested to see whether James is still at home in 1851.

Any help appreciated!  :)

Hi Pru

I looked at the 1851 and 1861 censuses and cannot find then by name or farm could they have moved to another area?

Hi Heather,
That's a shame...I guess they could indeed have moved on, I know now that son James had moved to London by 1851, but I don't have the rest of the family. 
Never mind!  They will turn up one day!  ;)

Thank you so much for looking

Prue  :)
