Lost Relative

[boland]

I have one missing relation in my family tree! They appear in 1871 census then disappears. Have checked marriage and death index no luck!
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also have a death certificate stating one of my relatives was a pauper?
although address was given of family home-What exactly does this mean- she had no money or income or no plot laair for her to be buried.

Does anyone know what occupation a " Box Filler " would mean in the 1840's wondered if meant something different other than the obvious

Thankyou

Hi Boland

Could you give some more information about your missing relative? Names and dates and if possible location - anything you've found so far to give us a staret? Someone might be able to come up with some ideas.

"pauper" would suggst to me no source of income but someone else might have a better suggestion.

And I think "box filler" is very likely to be just as it seems - wonder what size the boxes were and what your relative was filling them with???? Sometimes you end up with more questions than answers ...

Now that's quite philosophical for this time on a Friday night - I must dilute the gin a bit more

Hi'

1871 OLD MONKLAND CENSUS Catherine Boland aged 15 one of twelve siblings have records for every other one - five of which went to America .Apparently we were seasonal workers from Ireland and eventually settled in Old Monkland from around 1838. Just dont where to go next as you can see information limited on Catherine Boland.

Regards

Hi Boland

Help me here .....I just tried to peek at your Boland family in the 1871 census and there is nary a Catherine in Old Monkland on SP that I've found yet. Might be hidden under cleverer indexing but first attempts do not flush her out. Can you give us more details on other family names or parents names???

Best wishes
Jean

Hi Boland,

on the IGI there is CATHERINE BOLAND m DAVID DOYLE 11July 1867 Auchenleck ayr. Then if you do a parent search on this couple it looks like they went back to Ireland to have a couple of kids before coming back to Lanark to have some more. She would have been a bit young to marry, but not unheard of, or ages on census could have been out.
