Will report back when I hear from them.

I've just heard back from SP about the discrepancy of index v image on the 1841 census:

Thank you for contacting ScotlandsPeople.

This is clearly male on the record so I will send this one to the indexing team to have a further look at.

The occupation is manager and I do not think in those days that females would hold a title job as this but thanks for notifying us.

That's good they got back to you. I have had queries in the past with Scotlands People and they are usually prompt at dealing with issues.

Thank you for contacting them.

Were they in rented accommodation?

The chances of them actually owning their house are very small. Almost the entire population, apart from a few large landowners, lived in rented accommodation.

Thought so just had to check.

Mary was at the same address in 1851 with son George 20  (painter) and son William 18 tinsmith
( All born Dumfries)

1861 Mary was  lodger at 3 Eglington Street Glasgow. Mary died 17 January 1867 aged 63 Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire.

Looks as if William stayed in Glasgow, worked as a Tinsmith. 1891 Census has William Fleming age - 59yrs  - Bridgeton - Glasgow, Barony -  Address, 68 Muslin Street. with Jessie 57yrs - Joseph 17yrs.

His brother George, returned to Dumfries and married.

I am trying to find a death for George FLEMING b. 15 April 1830 Dumfries.

On the 1840/1850 census he was at 70 Robertson Street, Glasgow. George was a painter.

He was married to a Janet Johnstone  August 1865 - she died 1872 Lochmaben, Dumfriesshire. No sign of him after his wife died in 1872 till the 1881 census. He may have returned to Glasgow.

On the 1881 census he was in Dyfsdale, Dumfriesshire with a Margaret 29 - John 13 - Mary 4. Did he re-marry?

Any information would be very much appreciated.

ADD  George's parents were Joseph FLEMING  and Mary FLEMING (Moffat)

I have found two of Joseph's[/u]  William's sons birth entries and the interesting thing is, it gives their parents year, date and place of marriage  . Also found his wife's death entry for 1893 - district of Bridgeton.

Can anyone please tell me where she may have been buried.

Would like any information on my GGG Grandmother Christian MOFFAT (Fraser)

She is on the 1841 Census  Robertson Street - Glasgow

Robertson Street

Christian MOFFAT  64  manager (my GGG Grandmother)  What would manager mean?
Mary FLEMING  35  Draper    (her daughter)
Isabella Morrison  30 ?
Andrew Moffat   22   (her son)
George FLEMING  12  (her grandson)
William FLEMING  10 ( her grandson)

She is not on the 1851 Census so she may have died there. It would appear she was a widow as no mention of her husband William MOFFAT.

Any information would be very much appreciated

The above Christian MOFFAT is on the 1841 census and appears to be my ancestors. However, I have looked up the 1841 census on Scotlands People and she and the family aren't on it.
