Hi mgny, thanks for the reply, you managed to make my puzzle even more puzzling ...lol...i think i know what you mean so will give it ago, if not i will return for an easier explanation.Thank once again Donna

An 1891 Scottish census has 25 lines per page.
A free search on Ancestry in parish # 479/1 with page#=65 gets 45 hits, so there's probably 2 EDs that went that high.
Adding the address Glebe reduces this to 20 hits - maybe you can find one of these names, and locate the page that way.

Thats a shame.

Problem with Scotlandspeople is that you can not put the ED info into any search box.

Hi, Just to let you know that i gave my mum the deatails for 1891 that you found but she couldn,t get it on Scotlands people, tried quite a few different ways too.Thank you any way .Donna

Hi Glitter baby , yes that is the right 1901 family....mum has scotlands people so will give her the info for 1891 as we would of never have found it with that spelling ....i had tried various spellings , thank you for your time really appreciate it Donna
