Help!
John Gibson and Susan Sharp married in Dundonald in April 1851. I find them both separately in the 1851 census.
Susan is in Fullerton, parish of Dundonald a lodger with a Black family. She's either 24 or 26, the age is hard to read. John's in Dundonald, address Barassie age 24. His father was William Gibson a retired farmer age 61 with 270 acres.
I can't find hide nor hair of John or Susan in 1861! With that kind of land would they have moved away? John had a brother William age 17 in 1851 and he doesn't seem to be in Dundonald in 1861 either.
I don't find John and Susan in the US 1860 census. So where did they go?
