McMillan 1861 census .....

Post by **Merlot** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 1:54 pm

Hello All,

On the 1851 Barrhead & Neilston census I have

MCMILLAN FINLAY MA 50 PAUPER GLENORCHY
MCMILLAN FLORA FA 40 CAMPBELTOWN
McMILLAN NEIL MA 17 BLEACHER CAMPBELTOWN
McMILLAN ANN FA 16 BLEACHER CAMPBELTOWN
McMILLAN ISABELLA FC 09 SCHOLAR NEILSTON
McMILLAN ANDREW MC 03 NEILSTON
McMILLAN FINLAY MC 004 NEILSTON

I can't find any of them on the 1861 census and have tried variations of the name.

Can anyone help?

Merlot

Hi Merlot

I've not had a go at the 1861 but did look in 1881 to see if I could tell if any were still around. I was wondering if they emigrated...but then I found this one....

Dwelling: 75 Finnieston St
Census Place: Barony, Lanark, Scotland
Source: FHL Film 0203666 GRO Ref Volume 644-10 EnumDist 36 Page 2
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
Neil MC MILLAN M 38 M Campbelton, Argyll, Scotland
Rel: Head
Occ: Engine Blacksmith
Mary B. MC MILLAN M 32 F Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Rel: Wife
Occ: Blacksmith Wife
Thomas MC MILLAN U 13 M Dunbarton, Scotland
Rel: Son
Occ: Steam Engine Driver
Mary MC MILLAN U 9 F Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

Neil MC MILLAN U 7 M Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Rel: Son
Occ: Scholar
Floria Mc C. MC MILLAN U 5 F Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

John MC MILLAN U 3 M Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Rel: Son
Andrew MC MILLAN U 2 M Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Rel: Son
Donald MC MILLAN U 1 m M Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
Rel: Son

Father Neil's age is off...but place of birth fits...and having a daughter named Floria looked like Mom's name. If you're trying to track them forward then this might be a place to pick up some clues......if it's really the right Neil that is!!

Not sure if this helps but best I can offer at the moment

Best wishes
Jean

Jean,

Thank you so much for looking this up for me, unfortunately, it's not my Neil. I know that he married Ann/Annie McColl in 1858 (from memory).

I thought it would be straight forward

to find young Finlay, who is my g grandfather. I can trace him from 1871/1881/1891/1901 Census' but no luck with this one.

Thanks for your input.
Cheers,
Merlot

Hello Merlot,

Have you looked at Finlay Macmillen? The age is a bit out mind you as this boy is only 13.

Annette,

Don't be daft, I would have checked it anyway if I'd found it myself. I just don't know where else to look for this lot, might have to put them to one side (again) and concentrate on another branch. Do you have any idea if there would be poor relief records for 1850's Renfrewshire?
Thanks for your help.
All the best,
Merlot

I'll have a look for him next time I'm at The Mitchell just in case.

Kind regards,

Annette,

Thanks for the offer. I'd really appreciate it.
Come pay day I'll have another go on SP, they must be somewhere.

Hello Merlot,

Couldn't find any applications for any of the family, had a look at a couple of Andrew's but not yours.
