Hello,
Does any1 no how i can get census info for Scotland? GR only offers England & Wales.
Thanx Lisa

Buying GR credits is about the most expensive way to view the census.

You are better off with subscription to Ancestry which is £63.96 (if you barter) for all you can lookup in a year.

Ancestry have England, Wales & Scotland census 1841-1901
BMD's & loads more

If you post what you have on here, someone will do a lookup for you

Lisa,

Scotlandpeople,gov...web site do census pay per view by credits,,,,,,,,,@£6=for 30..and you view the actual census form..which can be printed off,,,,,,,,,,

Thanx,

I'm looking for Helen Mcgibbon b1869 in Midlothian Scotland. England census states her daughter (my grandma) was born in Scotland but birth certificate states born in England.
I want to know who was living with Helen mcgibbon before moving to England.

Kind regards Lisa

Hi Lisa,

The IGI.has a bapt entry..

Helen Mc Gibbon.

27th Feb,1869..Edboro Parish Midlothian,

Parents,
Peter McGibbon and Christina Taylor,#

But if you have her birth certificate from England register then she cant have been registered in Scotland,,,?she was born in England,,,,,,,,,,

Thank u, is thier any listing of Christ or Christina born in Midlothian 1891?
and where did you get that info from as i've been trying and hitting brick walls.

Thanx alot Lisa

Lisa,

who are the parents of your Helen McGibbon,??and where were they after 1869........England??

Who is Chrit/Christina.?

As I dont fully understand ,

Unsure at this time due to hitting brick walls when trying to research. i definately no that Helen Mcgibbon moved to Sheffield around 1890ish and married a William Guest.

Lisa,
if you have a copy of Helens marriage or get one it will give her parents name...

There are 2 listings for Helen McGibbon, in Midlothian, aged 2 to 4 in the 1871 census.

Lisa,

In 1871 Scotland..to match the parents of Helen McGibbons bapt 27th Feb 1869..parents as Christina Taylor &Peter,McGibbons,,,,,,

6 Bakehouse Close ,
Cannongate Edbro,
family consists of,
Peter 2,
Mary 6,
John 4,
Helen 2,

Peter 32 born England,**
Christina 28.bn Sterlingshire,

They are not as a family in 1881 Scotland,they could by this time be in England,?

Does this give you any clues,?

If you haven't already got it...the marriage cert is what you need.........it will have her father's name and occupation

Thanx all for the tips

Much appreciated Lisa

Lisa,

From England census,1881,

They appear to be living in Nether Hallam Yorkshie..England
Helen is as,,,,,,,,Ellen McGibbons,,,,,,,

,,all other family details match with 1871 Scotland census with a couple of additional children,,,,,,,,,,,

It sounds correct with the little info i have. What are the names of the additional children if you don't mind me asking so that i can cross check info ive had off my elderly auntie but sometimes her facts are a little vague as she keeps skipping generations and names.

Thanx Lisa

Lisa,
one is Robert age 7 born Sheffield,
and Euphanni Jane age 5 born Sheffield,

there could be more by 1891,?
