1891 census Edinburgh, St Giles?

[RobertWatson22]

Hi - I am new to this. Need some help with census lookup please.

Grandad, James McArthur aged about 39 lived in St Giles, Edinburgh with his "wife" in 1891. He died in 1898 and she in 1920.
Would be grateful to find them in 1891 and possibly 1901. many thanks.

Robert

You need the scotlandspeople website.
Do you know the name of the "wife"?

[RobertWatson22]

Yes... Marion Harvey we think. I was hoping for a lookup which is why I posted in this part of website. Hoping to use info to move on. Grateful for help

Yes... Marion Harvey we think.

I'm assuming you don't have the death certificate for Marion ? when you are not sure of her surname ...www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk has the death record which you can download for a small fee
Marion McArthur 1920/Newington Edinburgh also recorded as Harvey which will give you her parents names
