Find Ancestors

Hi,
I am looking for my Robert Thomson and family in the Scottish census.
For some reason i have everything on the wife but next to nothing on the husband
The only census i have is the 1881 and it doesn't list the Husband.I'm hoping that through the census i will be able to track down more accurate birth details for him
so this is what i have

1881

Name: Margaret Thomson
Age: 28
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1853
Relationship: Wife
Gender: Female
Where born: Aberdeenshire, Millbrex
Registration Number: 222B
Registration district: Millbrex
Civil Parish: Fyvie
County: Aberdeenshire
Address: Parochial Lodginghouse
Occupation: Farm Servants Wife
ED: 1
Household schedule number: 93
Line: 7
Roll: cssct1881_64
Household Members: Name Age
Mary Napier 55
Margaret Thomson 28
Robert Thomson 4
Agnes A Thomson 3
John Thomson 2
Ann Thomson 11 Mo

they are in a lodging house with no sign of the husband

Margaret Thomson died in 1892 just after the 1891 census address on death cert is
Living at 14 Chapel lane Aberdeen
she was born in Fyvie in about 1852,so i assume her husband was about the same age
Margaret and Robert married in Gateshead Durham in 1874

Any info on Robert would be very much appreciated
Thank you
Blue

So,
on this one then it might explain why he wasn't on the census with Margaret,
I think that in Scotland Ag Labs did travel around for work

Hi Vera,
I don't think this is them,
My ancestor their daughter Agnes is not on it.
Margaret died 31st Dec 1892 at 14 chapel lane Aberdeen.age 36
I wonder if they all lived at that address the year before
Agnes would have been about 13 at that time
Thanks

If so don't worry,i just wanted to see where he says he was born.

Rewgards Vera

Vera,
I bet you wished you hadn't seen my post now!
But
this is absolutely fantastic,because this one is him saying where he was born,which is great
funny he's changed his job
Shame she died the next year,but at least they were all together in the home and not still in the work house thingy
many many thanks

Hi Blue,
I really enjoy looking things up...especially when you find them....am trying to find him on the 1861 Do you know his parents names.?

Family treeing can be quite sad at times.
