Morrison/Patrick from Monimail 1841

[Jill S.]

James Morrison married Janet Patrick/Peddie/Patherick in Monimail on 09 Dec 1810.  He was a member of the Fife Militia.

Has anyone else come across them in their research?  Many of their adult children appear in Dundee and Liff (in Angus) on the 1841 Census. 

I can not locate the above parents.

Would someone be willing to check the 1841 Monimail census for James and Janet?

Hi Jill

Only just discovered this thread, from a Google search. I am also researching the Morrisons of Monimail and although I do not have Janet and James in 1841 I have them in 1851. Two years is a long time so you're probably already got the information but just in case!

The family is living in Cupar, Fife (Parish No. 420) at Toll House Carslogie

Just found this on the GENUKI website, Cupar page -

"The original 1841 census returns were lost in transit to Edinburgh."

That's why we can't find the Morrisons in the 1841 census.
