Help again please!!!
I have tried many options of suggested freecen but failing to find Daniel Hunter and his family in 1841 in Renfrewshire.
Facts: Daniel Ross Hunter b.28 May 1813 Greenock East; bap, 6 Jun 1813 East Greenock as Donald Hunter to Robert Hunter and Isobel Ross.
Married Sarah Hunter 11 Nov 1832 Greenock East. He was a tanner.
Children:
Jemima Brown Hunter b.9 Sep 1833 East Greenock
Robert Hunter 5 Jul 1835 Cardoss, Dumbartonshire
James Hunter bp 30 Dec 1837 Greenock East
Sarah Hunter bp. 14 Jun 1840 Greenock East

My best clue is folklore that James Hunter was 3 years old in Cross Arthurlie Village in 1841.
Can anyone access any such details for Parish Neilston Renfrewshire to find his family details there?

In 1845 Daniel Hunter and family back in Port Glasgow Road, East Greenock where he has returned as a skinner, mostly, Marshall's Tan Works.
In 1849, Daniel Hunter, a skinner at 42 Main Street, Cartsdyke before he emigrated to Port Phillip aboard Nerbudda.

Thank you Neale for both the confirmation of Daniel Hunter's address and family.

A letter dated 25 Dec 1843 from Greenock, recorded ...Daniel is staying at Ladyburn and working with "Marshall"; however, later in letter it said ... Daniel was at Kilmarnock...
thus, I needed to prove his location, at least in 1841.

Never, wanting to miss the opportunity that you have offered, I looked at the other names on page 7 of the Census.

I see a family of Malcom Lamont 42, and engineer of his family.

Ironically or not, and I know there are many families called Lamont, Daniel Ross Hunter's grandmother was Mary Lamont. No, I have not researched the Lamont family.


Thank you very much
