I can't find my JOHNSTON family on the 1901 census. I want to narrow down the possiblities, but you can't enter where someone was born for search purposes. Robert Johnston born 1862 Fetteresso Kincardineshire Isabella Johnston nee Richardson born 1866 Grange Banffshire Mary Isabella Johnston born 1896 Dumfries Catherine Wishart Johnston born 1897 Dumfries Are there any sites where you can search for ancestors using place of birth information? I get so many hits, and I have a feeling none of them are correct as I compare the hits for Isabella and those for Robert and none of them tally. I have tried the England 1901 census just in case - not there. Help appreciated - and thanks to those who have already helped me make huge progress with my Richardson family.
