Research Notes

Oddities raise a good many questions without need to purchase images from Scotlandspeople.

• Supposedly ages greater than 15 were rounded down to the nearest 5 in the 1841 census, but that doesn't account for the younger children in 1841 not being 10 years older on the 1851 census, particularly the differences for John and James.
• 1841 census has 2 apparent sons named Alexander. I am assuming the age 15 is from John's 1st marriage, Alexander born on 17 Jun 1823, but I can't account for the one who is age 10.
• 1841 census also shows Isobel, age 5 and John, age 2. I can't find a birth for either.
• 1841 census shows James, age 4 months. I assume his is the 26 Jan 1841 birth and that he died as there is another James born 06 Feb 1843. I couldn't find a death record index entry for the 1st James.
• 1851 census shows a daughter Jessie, but she is shown as granddaughter in 1861.
• John's 1st marriage has sons named John, Alexander and George. Those 3 names are again used for sons of his 2nd marriage.
