I THINK Christina Drennan is the daughter of Jean Kerr (Angus's sister in law) and Charles Drinnan. Looking at that census record it could well be Drinnan. Although now I have Jane Drennan (who is too old to be the daughter of Jean)  I am now doubting that!!  ???

Yes, I agree about Ancestry, also about the age of George Gunn. The 1841 census has done even more drastic rounding down than usual: I have George born in 1820 (sister Jane in 1818 and sister Mary in 1823). While on the subject of George, can you read his occupation on the 1841 census? Is it Rail something?
Julie, what is your own email address?

Maybe 40-year-old Jean is the daughter of William Drynan and Jean Kerr, baptised 11 January 1801 in Straiton?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

My best guess is Railhouse man but not convinced!  ???

Hmm I can see how you got that but as you say 'not convinced'. I think the Rail part is right because he worked for the railways all his life.  But after that it gets a bit difficult, doesn't it?

Are you sure it's not Warehouseman?

Not sure of anything! Warehouseman looks like a good possibility.
