[inveryes]

Husband was John Wright, born c. 1812, Greenock, occupation Cooper
1841 census, family at Adams Court Lane
1851 census, family at 57 Mitchell St
1861 census, family at 12 Thistle St

How'd you do dat? 

You can tell that I'm new to this game but you're right with those addresses. Only Wife Maryand daughter Janet were in the house in 1841 and note the age difference between those two is different in each census.

Just been looking at this for a while this evening ... to no avail of course.

There are a few public trees for Duncan Wright and his wife, also Ann Jane, on A/try but none so helpful for your purposes unfortunately. 

Ages on 1841 census are often/usually 'out' by a few years, enumerators rounded ages to the nearest five years.

Where could I see those public trees?

A/try?

Yep, on Anc*stry ... if you don't have an account yourself you can access via your local library ... if you are in the UK ...

I'm in Scotland but am I right in thinking that site doesn't cover Scotland?

When I search for those details on SP and include a birth date of 1812 =/- 2 years, nothing comes up. Two census would give him a birth date of 1812 or 1814.

Age is not indexed so dont put age or birth year in

[inveryes]

Tried it.

It was worth a shot but he's 4 years old.

That's the problem with SP. You can't be sure you have the right record before you have to shell out.
