Hi Lorna

You are a star! All the census info I could find stated only Scotland as the birthplace. Where did you find the 1881 census from as the ones I've found on the internet were not as complete as yours?

Many, many thanks indeed. i can now carry on searching for a bit longer!

Hi Claire,

I really reccommend buying the 1881 British Census.   It's not expensive U.S. $25.50.   I've had mine for 3-4 years & it's been worth every cent ( though I was extra lucky, a gen. friend bought it as a pressy for me ).

It covers Scotland, Wales, & England.

You can order it online at  http://www.ldscatalog.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView

I would guess that if you are close to a local F.H.S. that you could either buy it, or order it from them.     I'm not close to any F.H.S.'s, so I speak without any real knowledge.   It would be worth ringing them to inquire.

I don't know what I do without mine.    I use it over & over & over again.

Cheers Carolyn
