Hi

Here they are in 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871 courtesy of FREECEN.

1841. Village of Lossiemouth. Parish of Drainie.

Anderson Alex male, aged 40, occupation smith, born Morayshire

McIntyre Margt. Aged 30, born Morayshire

Anderson W. aged 10, born Morayshire

Anderson Hugh aged 9, born Morayshire

Anderson Alex. Aged 6 born Morayshire

Anderson Marjory aged 6, born Morayshire

Anderson Jno(sic) aged 4, born Morayshire

Anderson Elspet aged 1, born Morayshire.

1851 Village of Lossiemouth. Parish of Drainie

Anderson Alex’r. aged 55, Blacksmith, born Drainie Morayshire

Anderson Margaret, wife, aged 45, born Forres Morayshire

Anderson Marjory, dau, aged 16, born Duffus Morayshire

Anderson Elspet, dau, aged 11, born Drainie Morayshire

Anderson Robert, son, aged 8 born Drainie Morayshisre

Anderson James, son, aged 6, born Drainie Morayshire

Anderson David, son, aged 2, born Drainie Morayshire

1861 Village of Lossiemouth. Parish of Drainie

Anderson Alexander, aged 64, Blacksmith. Born Drainie Morayshire

Anderson Margaret, wife, aged 58, born Forres Morayshire

Sutherland Catherine, aged 7, grandchild, born Drainie Morayshire

1871 Village of Lossiemouth. Parish of Drainie

Anderson Alexander, aged 74, Blacksmith, born Drainie Morayshire

Anderson Margaret, wife, aged 63 born Drainie Morayshire.

There is an entry in the IGI for the birth of a Katherin Sutherland or Anderson, mother Marjory Anderson. However this is a submission not an extract and should be treated with caution.

You should now be able to find Alexander’s wife’s death on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk as you now know she survived until at least 1871. A quick check shows that a Margaret Anderson, maiden name McIntyre died in Elgin in 1884 aged 75 years. This could well be her.

Hi Carolyn

There are a few possibilities for the children of Alexander and Margaret showing on the 1881 census.

Who, in particular, are you looking for?

Hi Carolyn

There is a marriage of a James Anderson and Anne Murdoch 21/1/1865 in Elgin, who may be yours.

Also a marriage of Elspet Anderson and Alexander MacGillivray 28/12/1866 in Drainie, who may be yours.

You would have to check them out on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk to find out if they show the correct parents names.

No sign of Marjory or Elspet in 1881, which is a pity.

I transcribe censuses for Freecen. Drainie 1861 and 1871 are next on my list to do. I'll keep a note of the names and come back to you if I find them.

Best wishes
Jean
