i have been tracing back the McMillan's in the family tree and have come to a bit of a strange problem when looking for John McMillan's Parents, John is the 8 year old mentioned on the copy of the 1851 census, however when you look at all the McMillan's mention on this census that all list their father as Robert Aitken. As you can see from this census the address is East Park however when you look at the census for the McMillan's listed the address is West Park.
Also Lachlan McMillan at age 24 lists his father as Robert Aitken who is aged 38
as do all the McMillan's and list Robert's spouse Isabella as their mother.
Your help please with this one

Hi Fred
Ancestry's transcription looks to have jumbled up two households into one (hence the reference to Robert Aitken being the father to the McMillan houshold).
Have you checked the original image. This should help you confirm :)

Hi Monica
Thanks for your reply unfortunately Ancestry.com can not show original census records and i qoute
Unfortunately, we are unable to display the accompanying images of this census at present, despite extensive negotiation with the General Register Office for Scotland. Permission from them has not, as yet, been forthcoming. For this reason, and to enable you to continue with your family history research, Ancestry has heavily transcribed the Scottish Census records to ensure you have access to all key areas of information contained within this collection.
So i have no idea on how to get it without paying though the nose for something that may or may not be relevent to my family tree. Research the family on a limited budget is at times very difficult. again thanks for your reply
