1871 and 1881 census Beith Ayrshire
« on: Saturday 18 February 06 19:37 GMT (UK) »
 Can someone look up Robert Stewart and wife Margaret (Wilson) in 1871 and/or 1881 census in Beith, Ayrshire.  What I need is Margaret's birthplace.  Their marriage was Dec. 1864 in Beith.  There are more than one Margaret Wilson born about 1844 in Beith or nearby towns.  I need to know which Margaret Wilson married Robert Stewart.  I've searched the 1851 census by reading the whole thing and I cannot find her.  Robert is there at age 7.
Thank you!

Barbara

I've had a look at the Freecen website for you but nothing came up. This is normally a good site.

Can I suggest you try ScotlandsPeople for a death certificate. It should confirm she's the correct Margaret and pinpoint her date of birth.

I appreciate the help that you have already sent me. I am still not sure about Margaret Wilson's birthplace. She was married to Robert Stewart. Both were born about 1844 or 1845. I have responses about the 1881 census which says Margaret was born in Dalry. I want to see if she is listed as from Dalry in 1871 as well. The LDS listings have two versions of Margaret's birth. I probably will have to order a certificate of her death or the marriage or something, but before I spend money to do that, I would like to know how she is listed in 1871 with husband Robert Stewart.
Thank you once again,
Barbara
