Hello Elaine, Would you mind seeing if you can find a John Lindsay (born c 1829 Midlothian, scotland), he is listed on the 1841 scottish census aged 12 (Saddler's apprentice) with his mother Jean/Jane, brother James 15, sisters Margaret 9 and agnes 6, he moved down to england (not sure when so would like to see if he is lited on the 1851 census for England) i could not find either him or his family in scotland for 1851, in 1861 he is at 42 Randall st, Bromley (Shop Keeper) in 1875 when his daughter got married his occupation is down as a Saddler. In 1849 he married Elisabeth Barrie and their first child was born in 1850/51 (Scotland) James. Many Thanks Debbie
