1861-1871 Census Look-up Please
« on: Sunday 30 July 06 13:02 BST (UK) »
Would someone be so kind as to look-up the 1861 and 1871 census for Lanark please for the family of Russell and Elizabeth Sneddon and son James.
I do not know the birthdates of Russel and Elizabeth probably in the 1820's. James was born in 1853 in Old Monkland.
 
Thanks so much
Mariac

Hi, Mariac,

I have this family in my tree.  Russell Sneddon married Elisabeth Wiper/Wyper Aug. 1, 1847 New Monkland.  I have 7 children for them.  James Sneddon b. 1853 married Margaret Easton Nov. 2, 1874.  Margaret's parents were Matthew Easton and Margaret Campbell.  I have further information if it can be of some help to you

    Hi Rosemary,
          Thanks for your offer for further info. I have 3 children I have found for Russell and Elizabeth.
 Christina b1848
Elizabeth  b 1850
James  b 1853
I think there are 2 Elizabeth Wyphers born around the same time which is confusing things a bit.
 Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Mariac

Hi, again,

And there I thought Wyper would be an easier name to follow; didn't know there were two.

What I have is this:
Russell SNEDDON b. 1822 (no parents) Gardensquare, New Monkland, Lanark married to Elizabeth WYPER, OPR:  Aug. 1, 1847 New Monkland.

I have an Elizabeth SNEDDON death certificate, 1860, Oct 21 Old Monkland, no husband named, but says says "wife of a collier".  Parents:  David WYPER, deceased, Christina WYPER, maiden name unclear.  Inforamnt:  James GRAY, stepfather????, head Collierr  maybe...hard to read/

Children: 
Christina Oct. 16, 1848 New Monkland
Elizabeth Mar. 31, 1850, New Monkland
James May 5, 1853, New Monkland; married Margaret EASTON
Russell  Mar. 3, 1855, Falkirk
Jean Gray  Jan. 12, 1857, Old Monkland
Helen Anderson Jan. 12, 1859 Old Monkland
Elizabeth Wyper Oct. 10, 1860 Old Monkland

If I'm in error, please let me know.
