Title: Census Look-Up MOYES 19871/1881/1891 Dunfermline/Scoonie
Post by: Old Blue on Wednesday 22 July 15 14:27 BST (UK)
I am looking for possible census entries for a Joseph Moyes who was born in Dunfermline in 1869 and possibly moved to Scoonie in subsequent years. His parents were Peter & Elizabeth.

Any help would be much appreciated.
