Hi Derek Sorry can't do the look up for you - don't have any credits available. But, did you know you can search for free on Scotlands People - which will help you get a little bit closer to the person you're looking for?

Derek If you add 1881 census to your heading, there are a few who will be able to help. Marion

Derek Had a look, but nothing under Berwickshire at around 1 year old. However, there is an 11 year old living at 23 South St Duns, and I wonder if this is an indexing error. I've just run out of credits, but as I need more for what I am doing I will buy them and look at the actual census page - it is transcribed, but I can see what it says. Back shortly. Sheila

No, unlikely, as given as a scholar. To check - Father Andrew age 56; mother Jane age 50; brother George age 16; sisters Mary age 13, Madeline age 8. There are three under age 1 on the index, living in Glasgow, Fife and Glenorchy. Let me know if you want them looking up. Sheila
