Is the 1841 census for Scotland on Ancestry, if so, could someone please do a look up for me. I am looking for a William & Margaret Kerr. All I know is they had their children in Bathgate, West Lothian. All born around 1800. Do not know if they are alive in 1841 as cannot find their deaths but worth atry. Many thanks, Hilary.

have checked for a William or Margaret Kerr in West Lothian, born before 1800 - no results. Are the children still in Scotland then - if so might be worth checking on their names -

Hi everyone, many thanks for looking. I have found one son, Alexander Kerr in West Lothian on 1841 up in Edinburgh records. I do not know if William & Margaret stayed in West Lothian or moved out after birth of children. Never been able to find their deaths anywhere. Just trying to narrow it down.
