Title: William Murray 1841 census
Post by: Sonia Gardener on Friday 05 May 23 11:21 BST (UK)
Good morning
Looking at the 1841 census for William Murray born 1816 on ancestry I am unable to decide if he was born in Ireland or Scotland.  He married Susannah Gibson 1837 in St James Westminster. William was a tailor & his father (from the marriage) was James Murray a carpenter.  On the 1841 census the couple are transcibed as Willm & Susan with their baby son Chas in St Marylebone.  Even reading the instructions I am unable to work out how to do the link for you.  It just does not work for me.  My apologies.
I am hoping someone with better eyes than me can find it so that at least I can narrow down where to look for my William.
Many thanks in advance
Sonia

It is an 'S'.  If you look at other pages you can see the difference between the 'I' and 'S'.

thank you Debra - I have Susannah all the way through - It's William who is the nightmare.  I've taken a quick look in Scotland & can see it's not going to get any easier but that's the nature of Family History - one step forward & 2 back.

thank you so much for your information which could help in finding my William.  Sorry for the delay in replying but I was all caught up in the Coronation.
Best wishes
