hi chris and jaq,
many thanks for such speedy replies.

chris, both census extracts appear to fit what i am looking for, will need to sit and look more carefully, as i only started on this particular branch this week and as yet dont have a lot to go on apart from a few marraige certs.

jaq, many thanks for taking time to search for me, but i cant tie your information in.  notice that you are researching the surname Dow, i am also researching this surname, originating from Leith 1800 to present day Port Glasgow, have tons of information on this line.

once again, thanks, cant believe got 3 replies within the hour.

Hi Gill

Tried to find 3 Dellingburn Street in the 1881 census, just to see who was living there - but no luck, but I did find 5 and 6 Dellingburn Sq though.

Houses in the area, especially 69 & 73 Main Street had between 20 / 30 families in each of them - so would suggest they were possibly 'high rise blocks' of the Victorian era.

 ???Hi Gill,

I'm a beginner (only discovered the site yesterday) and not sure what I'm doing, but I've posted a new message on the beginners board referring to an enquiry you made in April 04, re Charles Gavan and Elizabeth Bonar - my great grandparents.  I am trying to find out where they were born in Ireland.  Wonder if you can help?

Many thanks.
