1841 Census look up
« on: Friday 24 March 06 11:41 GMT (UK) »
This might be impossible but...I need information from the 1841 census for Berwick or Tweedmouth. I am trying to find my gg grandfather and his parents (whose names I am unsure of). In 1851 they were living in Tweedmouth but I am told that in 1841 these areas came under Co. Durham? Details are:

George White aged about 13 or 14 (in 1841) born in Leith, Scotland.

I think his parents were named George and Alice (or Alison or Ellis). And he may have had a sister named Mary (aged about 11) and another named Elizabeth (aged about 15).

I am sorry I don't have more info. But I hope someone can help me!

Berwick - White, Foggoa.
Leith, MLN - White.
Fife - Simpson, Fife, Venters, Birrell, Lumsden, Shepherd, McLeish, Seath.
Inveresk - Archibald, McLeod.
Scottish borders - Glendenning, Foggoa.

Hope I'm doing this right! I'm new here...

From the 1851 census:

address West End, Tweedmouth, Berwick on Tweed.
Alice White, head, widow, 62, Retail grocer, born Berwick on Tweed.
George White, son, u, 23, Iron moulder, born Scotland.
