Hi Siobhan, You didn't give me any ages - hope this is the one that you are looking for. I see that there are two children the same age, maybe twins? Just shout if you need another look up.

I think the two boys the same are a transcription error, as I have there dates of birth and they are not twins. What I can't understand is what happened to there sister Robina Anderson, she would of been age 13. Perhaps she died quite young. Have you got the 1881 census on cd??????

that is definately the right family margaret, just don't understand where Robina is, perhaps she did die young. Where did you order the cd from, think I would like to get that. I may have another look up for you, if you don't mind. will just look at my notes.

don't have anymore, I think all the others would be deceased in 1881 or living on there own, which would be hard to track.
