Find Ancestors

Thanks Karen, Hopefully I will able to find when I have credits on SP. Thank you so much for the 1871 census details. I didn't know that 1871 census was on SP. Many thanks, Lucia :-)

Lucia - I'm sorry I can't find any members of the family on 1891. None come up within Inverness and correct'ish age. Also tried Joseph all areas, about 13 results, none near the right age and none Inverness vincinity. Of course could have moved but no idea where to. The difficulty is here that given their ages they are unlikely to still be together in 1891. Do you already have them on 1871? Ran out of credits to view this but looks like Josephy & Margaret, codes are the same which means they are together, couldn't turn up Christina with these codes though. 1871 MCLELLAN JOSEPH M 9 INVERNESS INVERNESS 098/00 013/000 020 1871 MCLELLAN MARGARET F 6 INVERNESS INVERNESS 098/00 013/000 020 Sorry not to be of more help Karen

Re-Lookup. thank you karen so much,one sounds promising,ive had problems getting logged with scots site,but ironed out now,so can dig it out, regards kay.

Hello Karen Hope I’m not too late to take up your kind offer. Looking for DANIEL McCOWAN b. c1854 I have him on the 1891 census aged 37 born Scotland. He married Emma? And their oldest son Andrew was born 1883 in Bootle (West Derby) Lancashire. Other sons names were William Lewis McCowan and Daniel Hugh McCowan I don’t know if Daniel and Emma married in Scotland ? Then moved to Lancashire. Emma was born c1861 in Holyhead Wales. I suppose I’m asking can you find Daniel aged 7ish in Scotland with his parents in ‘61census before he went to Lancashire ? or ANYTHING you find that might be connected to Daniel please. Have added the names of his son’s because they tend to name their children after the parents, don’t they? This might assist you in finding the Father of Daniel in the ’61 census. Thanks heaps! …Babz X

Georgina - had a look at the death record, there is no image available on line, you'll need to order it, details here 1892 BERN DAVID M 20 MARINE REGISTER MINOR RECORDS 023/MR 0467 No Image Good luck Karen

Nicola - only one Susannah Mcintyre and she is 17, no Jacobs at all, looks like they didn't head north, sorry, Karen

Kay - I can't find Jemima born Leith. Any that look possible by age don't match with parents, only found 3 aged between 8 & 10, all areas - one 10yr old in Banff looked possible, she is a niece but not born Leith. 1871 MORRISON JEMIMA F 10 GRANGE (BANFF) BANFF 156/00 006/000 008 This one not with correct parents- 1871 MORRISON JEMIMA F 8 LEITH MIDLOTHIAN 692/02 041/000 009 Haven't looked at this one, 1871 MORRISON JEMIMA F 8 DURNESS SUTHERLAND 048/00 004/000 014 I've looked at hellen, helen & ellen morrisons in Leith but none match up with Alexander morrisons in Leith. To search on a different or all areas you'd need to narrow it down by age or something. Sorry can't be of more help Karen

Thankyou Karen I think she must be the one from Traquiar.

Marian - I have had a look at 1871 census where she should be 67'ish, difficult to say which, if any, I presume her parents are deceased by 8171. 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 68 NEW MONKLAND LANARK 651/01 014/000 008 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 68 AIRDRIE LANARK 651/01 014/000 008 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 67 MILTON LANARK 644/07 042/000 004 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 67 RICCARTON AYR 611/00 005/000 032 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 68 ARBROATH ANGUS 272/00 017/000 020 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 68 FORDYCE BANFF 153/00 008/000 019 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 66 GOLSPIE SUTHERLAND 051/00 004/000 002 1871 GRAY ELIZABETH F 67 THURSO CAITHNESS 041/00 009/000 004 Births c.1802 (searched 1800 to 1804) with father as William and/or mother Elizabeth 13 Aug 1804 GRAY ELIZABETH WILLIAM GRAY/ELIZABETH DALE FR478 F IRVINE 595/00 0002 No Image 28 Oct 1802 GRAY ELIZABETH WILLIAM GRAY/ F TRAQUAIR 771/00 0001 No Image Hope this is of some help Karen
