Can someone find me a Matthew Little born Ettrick ,Selkirk in 1831 in the 1851 census please.He is NOT the Matthew Little on a farm in Eskdalemuir,Dumfriesshire on the farm of Robert Laidlaw (Nether Cassock) in 1851.That Matthew Little was also born around 1830 but in Eskdalemuir.Both were unmarried shepherds in 1851.My Matthew's parents were in Kerrcleuch,Ettrick in 1851.In 1861 Matthew was in Herthstone,Tweedsmuir,Peeblesshire.Hoping someone will be lucky and find him somewhere in the Scottish borders.
