Re: John Robertson

Hi Bob, I know you have the 1851 & 1861 censuses; they are just to compare with 1871. Annete, could the last three below be some of Elizabeth's siblings? Catrine & Sorn are only a mile or two apart. ==== 1851 cens. 613 Ed 4 p 16. Sorn. Ford St. ...........[lodging with Dorothy? McCartney, 36, b Lisb...

Re Kendall family 1861 census

Hi Maggie, Ancestry has Kendall indexed as Rawlins ... ...they also have some other errors on the family... Search County Yorkshire , Civil Parish Sherburn for a, John RAWLINS, b. 1813 - there's only one [age error as 48]. Here's my best shot of translating the original page. -- 1861 census. Folio 2...

Re 1841 Census Graham etc

Hi David, I first looked for the Graham family (using Soundtex) in Perthshire...but nothing that fitted... ...extended this to all of Scotland; still nothing. So, hoping that the family were in Perthshire, but just wrongly transcribed by Ancestry (not uncommon), i then searched all Perthshire on fir...

Re Rosina / Rosa

Hi Helen, Some idle thoughts that have crossed a confused mind... -- Is there proof that Rosina's maiden surname is definitely Higgins ? I know son William says on his 1855 MC that's what it is - wrong info on MCs isn't unknown. On William's 1903 DC his widow Jane Dawson says it's Ferrier . But DCs,...

Alex Slach ?

Hi Southpaw,
The 1851 census index CD has wee Alex indexed as SLACH, and i couldn't disagree unless meant to end in a "K".
Enumerator seems to have more than one way of writing a capital "S".
Compare the surname SWAN of Janet & Mary on lines 3 & 4.
Even the "S" he uses in Street isn't consistent.

Rosina / Rosa

Hi Helen and Ellen, Like yourselves i can only see Rosina / Rosa as a possible candidate in 1841 & 1851... And I'm also unsure if it is Rosina "McHendrie" in these two censuses. The ages in 1841 are confusing - John a 40yr old with a 50yr old mother...? But who gave the details to the enumerator? Jo...

Alexander Davidson & Annie McCulloch..?

Hi Annette, A good find. :D Which leads to Katherine in the 1920 census as married to Rudolph Bartels. Ancestral file also states that Elizabeth was married to Cloyd Woodke. -- I notice there are other submitters... ...but they have Katherine & Elizabeth as both born < Scotland > 23 Sep 1890. Bro. &...
