Title: Esther Green born 1845 Lochmaben
Post by: lesleyegreen on Tuesday 08 August 17 10:14 BST (UK)

Hi Everyone
Found Easter Green, born about 1845 in Lochmaben, father John Green, mother Agnes Hunter, in the 1851 Census, as Easter Green. Found her in 1861 census living at Mouswald with William Bell and family as Esther/Ester Green. She was a dairymaid on their farm. After that she is meant to be back in Lochmaben in 1871 but can't seem to find her.Help!!! She is sister to my 2x great grandfather. Any other information about her would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
Lesley

Hi

Think she is recorded as a farm servant in the household of John Lawder at Burnside, Lochmaben. One transcription has her as Ester (and female), another as Peter - so might be best to locate on Scotland's People.

Added There is indeed an Ester Green age 26 living in Lochmaben in1871 using the free search on SP.
