Many thanks for your help.

I had checked the schedule numbers and they are correct i.e. 7/12 and 6/12, so there does not appear to be a missing page, but perhaps there is one page missing.

I will take your advice and contact SP.

Thanks again - have a good evening.

Correct!!!!!!

At least I now know that the Linnbank Cottages were still occupied at the time of the 1871 census.

Hi Forfarian,

Its a possibility, but I'm not convinced. I checked the entry on Find my past and it is as you say.
I checked SP for a birth of a Scott Clarson or Clareson and cannot find an entry. So, there is a possibility that your suggestion could be right with a mistake with his marriage status.

PS: I have sent an email to Lanark Library to check on the status with the 1871 Census for the Linnbank Weavers Cottages - perhaps they were damaged or destroyed - clutching at straws!!!!!

Hi All,

I have a problem locating my 3rd Great Grandfather in the 1871 Census. I can tell you that I have all other census info for him and the family.  In the 1861 and 1881 census I have him and all of the family but it is a mystery where him and two of his Daughters and their husbands are in the 1871 Census - all 5 are missing. I have also checked the 1875 Valuation Roll and none of the above can be found.
I suspect that Linnbank weavers cottages were demolished around 1871, but cannot confirm this. I visited the site of the cottages some time ago and and found the ruins - at the time I lived in Spain, but now live in Lincolnshire.

I would be grateful for any information that might help locate the family in the 1871 census and solve the mystery.

The persons referred to above are:

William Jackson, born Nemphlar, Lanark, lanarkshire 23rd Aug 1807 (3rd Great Grandfather).
John Lockhart, born Nemphlar, Lanark, lanarkshire 1819 (William's son-in-law).
Marion Jackson, born Nemphlar, Lanark, lanarkshire 14th Sept 1831 (William's daughter, wife of John Lockhart).
Scott Clarkson, born Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire about 1846 (William's son-in-law).
Mary Jackson, born Nemphlar, Lanark, lanarkshire 1845 (William's daughter, wife of Scott Clarkson).

Note: William's wife Marion Jackson born 7th January 1809 is confirmed visiting her friend in Lesmahagow in the 1871 census.

I am grateful for any help.

Kind Regards,

John Jackson

Thank you all very much, some of the info I already have, however Lu, you have given me the confirmation that Johanna was born in Scotland and that is exactly what I needed. What caused my uncertainty if I have been following the wrong person was the ships arrival data for Johanna which stated she was English and her age at this time was 26. She should have been Scottish and 22 years old, and further when I checked the birth records for a Johanna Pepper born in England and 26 years old, I found a birth that matched this. So now I am elated that Johanna's death record confirms she was born in Scotland.
I thank you very much for your help.

Best Regards,

John
