Shetland census returns

[knights]

I can't seem to locate my Nisbit family from the Shetlands on any census are they in a different place than FindMyPast.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

There are some with rhat surname in Shetland listed on FindMyPast. What names are you looking for?

[knights]

Magnus Nisbit b: 1840, I know he married a Marjory Anderson but don't have a date at the moment.

Thank you for replying, I have tried FindMyPast but didn't  get anything up.

A person with those details is on FindMyPast in Fetlar in 1841 and in North Yell in 1851.I searched on Magnus Nisbet, with variations, b. 1840 +/-2 ,Shetland.

[Gadget]

His parents were Magnus and Marjory, in both years.

I've also looked on Scotlands People and he's also on there.  Another one in Unst.

Sorry Gadget, 1840 Magnus married Christina Dalzeil,  my mistake, I will take another look at FindMyPast for 1841 and 1851.

The 1840 Magnus's parents were Magnus and Marjory. He was much too young to marry in 41 and 51    I didn't see him later with a wife.

Magnus Nisbet married Christina Dalzell in Fetlar in 1862.

I also can't find him again in the census, but Christina is still on North Yell in 1871 with four children: Jessie Blanche Nisbet b. 1863; Andrina Ursula Nisbet, b. 1865; Wilhelmina Nisbet, b. 1867 and Elizabeth Nisbet, b. 1869.
