Member Since: March 2005 Posts: 828 Send Message	Could anyone tell me what place this sounds like in Scotland? On the 1851 census that I have it seems to say Rinforther but having done a search on google no matches came up, or alternatives. Could anyone suggest another place? Here is the link to the census page on ancestry if anyone wants to have a look, its the birth place of a James Paterson he is living at no 21 on the census. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/browse/view.aspx?dbid=8860&iid=LANHO107_2177_2177-0865&pid=11494194&ssrc=&fn=James&ln=Paterson&st=g It even says on the search result for the census Rinforther but I know this is not always accurate, any guesses? Thankyou Steph

	Looking at the image to me it states Scotland, but following it could be Renfrewshire, thats my best guess. George
