Looking for a family on the 1911 census

[harrygeorge1]

I am looking for William Isbister b 1856 Walls Clementina Isbister b 1859 Fetlar (nee Linklater Tulloch) and Margaret Isbister b 1897 Fetlar

In the 1901 census they were living in Albany Street Lerwick. I have been unable to find them in 1911. I know all 3 were still alive. William was a seaman in the Merchant service so I am wondering if they were abroad at this time.

Margaret did moved south into England and married in Paddington London in 1919.

Have you located Margaret (Rowlett) in 1939 register.

Have you located Margaret (Rowlett) in 1939 register.

I have that information, she married James Rowlett. She just seems to have disappeared in 1911. I did find a Margaret Isbister in Vancouver on the Canadian census, right age right birth place but unfortunately I haven't got access to worldwide records so I am unable to see who she is with.

I can't find her on scotlands people either.

You don't need to pay for worldwide access on some commercial web site to look at the Canadian census. It's available free at http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx

I'm sure you're aware that the 1911 Scotland census is only available on ScotlandsPeople ?

Try looking under Isbester - I don't have credits so I can't look at the detailed results but I can see Clementina and William , and probably Margaret , in the index in Lerwick.

Edit - my apologies , I see you mentioned ScotlandsPeople - I'm full of cold at the moment and a bit foggy headed.

Thank you I will try on there again, hope you feel better soon.x

I have spare credits, here is a jpeg of the census page in question

Searching on SP, it's always a good idea to use wildcards. Don't search for Isbister or Isbester - go for *s*b*s*t*r, which should pick up any spelling variations.
