Hello All,
Can anyone tell me the population of Canonbie and/or Canonbie Parish between 1750-1800 please?
Cheers,
Bob

In 1755 it was 1,732.

In 1794 it was 2,725.

This information is from the Statistical Account of Scotland (now called The Old Statistical Account, to distinguish it from the two later ones).

In 1821 it was 1,491 males and 1,593 females = 3,084.

Thanks for the link, GR.

I had it down as EDINA but it seems to have moved since I last looked.
