Somerville Family/Glasgow - Census info?
« on: Saturday 04 August 07 17:30 BST (UK) »
Thanks to Tidybooks and Joekar - Thanks Guys! - I have managed to get up and running with tracing the routes of the Somerville side of my family and have downloaded a wealth of information from scotlandspeople.  However, I am having a bit of a problem finding census data to help identify the children from my great grand father's family back.  If anyone can help with census info I would appreciate the help.
My Grandfather; Joseph Somerville lived at 30 Annfield Street, Glasgow on and around 1901
In 1922 my grandfather Joseph Somerville and his wife Catherine (who died in January 1922) lived at 34 Rochester Street, Glasgow.  He died Jan 1939.
My Great Grandfather John Somerville, lived at 49 Greenvale Street, Glasgow with his wife Isabella (nee Douglas) after his marriage on 31st Dec 1861.

Thanks a million wozzle and Joe.

Hope you enjoyed your birthday Joe.  All of the info you have given looks spot on.

Wozzle - I'm not sure about the Lanarkshire info in the 1841 census, but will get my thinking cap on.

Thanks again.

hi john

we need to sort out elizabeth somerville who appears as john's daughter in the 1871 census, i have her living with her uncle james smith in the 1861 census age 5.

the reason being is that on the 1901 census douglas is living with john mclintock and elizabeth, douglas is noted as brother in law? any ideas?

okay john,

think i have solved the mystery of the 1861 census...

james smith married elizabeth somerville 9/11/1860 in glasgow, can easy assume that this is the sister of your john.

1861 census- 98 green street

james...age 28...cotton weaver...born paisley
elizabeth...age 23
elizabeth somerville...niece...age 5
george...nephew...age 3
