1841 census look up please! John Craig

[lorrainec]

Whahoo!  Thank you, Rosie!
That's my Craig family!

Now, off to find parents of John ... that was why I asked to see where he was born.  Seems it was Edinburgh.  Wish me luck and thank you for your help!

Hi Lorraine

The 1841 Census only shows if the people on it are born in the county or if they are not.
This signified by a Y or N.
Birthplaces weren't noted until the 1851 census.
Cheers

Found his parent - named on his death certificate ..... named John (of course!) and he was a soldier.  That's it.  No mother.
argh!

Aw that's  a pity and the marriage for John and Mary  Carmichael 22/11/1846 Blairgowrie Perthshire is before 1855 Statutory Records so not much information there ..

Well, I guess I will need to save my pennies and head over to Blairgowrie!

Make sure you come in the summer then ... was looking at some of the names of his family assuming the Alan And Mary Craig were named after Mary Carmichael's parent's ..was wondering if the Miller name is from John's side ( Mary Miller Craig ) ...

Here's the line, starting from me:
Lorraine, daughter of Sylvia Craig, daughter of Ernest Craig (m Roberta Wallace), son of John Craig (m. Frances Sommerville), son of Alan Craig (m. Jane Carruthers), son of John Craig (m. Mary Carmichael), son of John Craig (m. Jane Peterkin).  The "Miller" comes from Mary Carmichael's mother, Mary Miller.
