1861 Census - looks like Kastanglen, Scotland
« on: Thursday 03 November 16 07:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi.  I'm looking at Andrew DOUGLAS or DOUGLASS living in Yorkshire and he was born in a place that looks like Kastanglen.  Has anyone got any ideas please.  Thanks all.

The 1851 census suggests that he was born in Edinburgh.

Below is a link to Towns and Villages in Scotland beginning with K

I can't see anything that looks like the place named in the census record.
Ashford: Somerset, London
England: Devon, London, New Zealand
Holdway: Wiltshire
Hooper: Bristol, Somerset
Knowling: Devon, London
Southcott: Devon, China

Thanks.  I hadn't found him in 1851.  Will take a look - am using FindMyPast so hopefully it's there.

Possibly this is Rutherglen, Lanarkshire.

Skoosh.

Looking at the map, he could say Edinburgh if it's Rutherglen.  Does anybody else agree it may say Rutherglen?
