Need some help trying to find the above. Found William in 1841 and 1851 in Renfrewshire.

In 1851 he was a slater aged 40. BOrn Eastwood, Renfrewshire - definately born in Renfrewshire but not sure about Eastwood, Mearns or Nelston. His wife is Rebecca of similar age in 1851.

In 1861 I can't seem to find him or Rebecca. I think they may have been living apart. Rebecca died in Renfrewshire 1862 - William much later after remarriage.
Any help to find him and/or Rebecca in 1861 would be helpful. I seem to draw a blank!

Thanks Jean. I think that could be William although he is out of his usual county.

I don't know how I managed too miss Rebecca it's clearly her and the rest of the family.
