Thank you Rosie, one entry has come up (not quite the right one, but it could be the father of) but I see you have to pay to look at records there, do you know if the same records are available on Ancestry?

They do have the census records on Ancestry for Scotland up to 1901 they are just transcriptions the original records are only available on Scotland's People ..What name and year of birth are you looking for

I'm looking for a George Cowie who was married to Isabel Steven, and served with the 51st (Highland) Division. I am doing some research for a friend so I don't know much more than that at the moment but have asked for a dob as I know that would help!

You can also search on www.familysearch.org and for earlier records 1841/1851

thank you Rosie, I think it's the 1901/1911 records that I need, so I'll probably just go ahead and pay!

Do you know the names of any family members

Apart from his wife who was called Isabel I think, no, not yet - that's what I'm hoping to deduce from the census record.
