Census 1911

[scottishmist]

Hi All
Where are I am going wrong
I am trying to find a Hugh McIlwraith Born 1881 Lanark Glasgow Scotland
Last address was 1 Bright Place Govan Lanarkshire Scotland
he got married in 1907 and died 1914 in Govan
I have looked on the census 1911 but can't not find him or his wife Helen Grant ( they have twins boys age 4)
after downloading the wrong ones I would ask for help maybe someone can find him and I won't waste any-more credits
thank you

Won't the same situation apply to anybody else looking for him?  Until you have used a credit - you don't know whether you have the right one so it means somebody else is using their credits??

Have you tried searching using the twins names etc?

are we as third-parties allowed to search for you on the Scots 1911 - isnt it also T'ed & C'ed by Brightsolid?

Hi Carol
I don't want anyone to use there credit's just someone looking with a new out look  finds people that I have missed
I have search for the twins with no luck
I have a few credits left but  thought I would  ask for some help before trying again

Hi Jan

One of the problems with searching the Scottish 1911 is you don't see any actual results without paying.  SP just tells you there are X number of possible matches based on your search criteria

The English 1911 is much better in that it presents you with a full list of possible matches which you can scroll through for any obvious mis-spellings before you part with any cash

[CaroleW]

I have just done the following basic search on SP and got one match

Hugh McIlwraith aged between 28-32 living in Lanarkshire

It may be one you have already found

Hi Carol
I might  try that one as I came up with two but there were the wrong age
but I put his wife name in and he might not have been living with his wife and sons
cheers Jan

Hi Carole
still no the wiser it might be him/but might not with his wife and boys not living with him I can't tell if it is him or not
thanks for your help
Jan
