Thank you both so much, does it mention his wife Isabella & the daughter Margaret? I also have this family living at Cowgate in Lady Yesters. Can I get really excited yet!!!!

Argh I have to go to WORK now so can't continue exploring this - which I'd rather do! Will see if I can help further later....

Hi Ev
My Robert married Isabella KEAY in 1824 Midlothian, I didnt find the rest of the family until I tried to find my Mathew Stewart in the 1841 Census & Births via Scot/People, if this is any help.
I get so frustrated because I am stuck here in Australia with limited & expensive resources & have to rely on great people like yourself & then I dont get all the info correctly for the other people.

Hi I'm back!
I see them on the 1841 as well.... have you found the family in 1851?

[smokeydownunder]

In 1851 I have only [so far] found Robert, Isabella & Margaret BUT I did find a Mathew Stewart [right age group], scholar,  as a boarder at Bridge End, East Linton[where is East Linton].

As for this Isabella's last name I will assume at this stage that the census taker misheard & wrote ?McKenzie.

I note Margaret is around the same age as Matthew.

Do you know if 'Mathew' is an unusual first name for that time & place, as it has been carried forward to the present day?
