1881 census

Post by steiner » Wed Nov 16, 2011 6:01 pm

According to an old bible entry - James and Dorothy THomson both born about 1835-1837 in Scotland lived in Glasgow. They had several children Elizabeth, Dorothy, John and James between 1864 - 1876.
I can't seem to find them in 1881 LDS. Would be grateful for any help in finding the entry and details. Thank you.

Could this be James & Dorothy at 57 West Bothwell St ? I searched on James Thomson, b 1836 +/- 1, census place Scottish Lowlands, Lanark.
James THOMSON age 44, Head; General Blacksmith; Glasgow, Lanark
Dorothea THOMSON age 43 Wife; Glasgow, Lanark
Dorothea THOMSON age 11 dau. ; scholar; Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
James THOMSON age 6 son; scholar; Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
John THOMSON age 4 son; Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
