Thanks Forfarian.

Thank you all for the maps.  I love the detail with the factories, churches, etc. I definitely need to learn more about finding and using maps.  I can see it was an easy walk from Old Dalmarnock to Main St.  Still fiddling with East Rose.  I have been reviewing the 1841, 51 and 61 Census on FindMyPast, Ancestry and FreeCen and then will buy originals on SP.  in 1841 East Rose is Lanark and in 51 and 61 St John Bridgeton.  I did come across some 4s but no familiar names.  I have found two James McAllisters possibly father and son who married wife with ms Scott.  Coincidence maybe?  I’m possibly going down a few rabbit holes.  I am going to compare the 8 Robert Scott on all census providers and check occupations.  If none are nailers what would be similar?  He was an unredeemed pledge dealer on his daughter Jessie’s marriage 1870 and her death in 1931.  I’m open to suggestion on where else to look.

Is this from FindMyPast? Because in 1841 FindMyPast has hundreds of census records indexed as in Lanark that are actually in Glasgow, Lanarkshire. That's why you are right to go for the originals.

Yes I used the street address finder in FindMyPast and I did notice it can return different results when I repeat the same search.  I do prefer FreeCen transcriptions and the fact I can scroll through the families living on both sides.

Where was Jessie in the 1851 census?

Good Morning Alan,

I could not find a Jessie in 1851 Census.  Checked adjoining homes in case she was with a neighbour.  No poor law applications.  This entire family is missing from 1861 Census.  Except there is a Jessie Scott in Renfrew with grandparents Anthony and Jane Reid.  It was Janes 2nd marriage.  She was the widow of Peter Scott ms O’Neill or Neil.  I could not find a Robert born to Peter and Jean.  I have chased this to no end but still have them as a hypothesis in my tree.  In 1841 the Burks lived at 60 Charley Close Bridgeton, In 1851 at 220 Main St Calton, Glasgow and in 1871 Margaret was with Jessie and Alexander McDonald at 17 Thistle Street, Govan.  Her mother and brother Peter were at 181 Main Street, Calton.  I think the surname must be badly mangled in 1861.

Have you looked for Jessie as Janet? It's not uncommon for these two names to be used interchangeably.

[luvtotravel]

Yes I’ve tried every combination Jane, Janet, Jonet, Jean, Jess*, etc.  I am currently pursuing McAllisters in Barony hoping they are related somehow.  I have been searching Robert Scott’s that are  unmarried as the Petition does not state marital status.  Is it possible he was married and that fact not recorded?
