Hi Essexgirl,

In the 1841 census at Prestonpurs(sic) Prestonpans East Lothian

George Thomson 30 b 1811 Scotland – Wright
Jane Thomson 25 b 1816 East Lothian – wife
George Thomson 8 b 1833 East Lothian
Isaac Thomson 5 b 1836 East Lothian

Remember the rounding down of ages George can be 30 to 34, Jane 25 to 29.
