Are the Dryfesdale MIs available online - or maybe someone might have access?

Census 1841

Piece: SCT1841/829 Place: Hoddam -Dumfries-shire Enumeration District: 1
Civil Parish: Hoddam Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -
Folio: 1 Page: 13
Address: Ecclefechan

RAE   Jane   F   60   Grocer    Dumfries-shire       
RAE   Jack   F   55       Dumfries-shire       
MANIFOLD   Richard   M   20   Rural Police Constable    Ireland

Have viewed this on SP and clearly reads Jack Rae - female. Given rounding of ages in 1841 census this Jack would be approx 55 - 60 and could well have had a son born circa 1801.

Hi John,

    Thank you all for your help. My parent's eye sight is not very good and my wife does not like genealogy, she says it interferes with her sex life. I have no idea what she is talking about. It has been great to get some more opinions. I have been blown away by how helpfull everyone has been. 

Thanks again.

John
