Mortlach Census's
« on: Monday 25 July 05 20:11 BST (UK) »
Hello

I know that there were two early Census's taken in Mortlach; one I believe to be about 1809 or thereabouts and the other sometime in the 1820's.

Does anyone have a copy of these that I could possible have a copy of or does anybody know where I might be able to get a copy from.

Many thanks

1805, 1821 and 1826.

There is a photocopy in Moray Heritage Centre in Elgin, though I am unsure that it is available at present because of the problems following the fire two years ago at Grant Lodge.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Hello

Thanks for the information.  I did contact the heritage Centre albeit some time ago and they didn't have access to the Censuses because of the fire.

I will try again to see if they have access now.

Hi Bob

Can you let me know the outcome if they access to the cencus??  I have a family member from Mortach  born around 1820 and I am not sure on his birthdate/parents names and the last name is Stuart (Stewart)...very hard to trace!!

Thanks!!
