Hi Tracey, There is only one Clara Goodridge in the whole of the UK listed on the 1881 and she was not born in Scotland - GODDERIDGE, Clara Kate Dau <1874> Warw Warw GOODRIDGE, Clara L. Dau <1874> Surr Surr The other info is to wide a span for such common names. I put it onto a Word document and it worked out to 17 pages. That will be of no use to you as it is far to much to even think about. Can I suggest that you register on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk with £6 and you will be able to find Goodrige/Rose and Goodridge/Young marriages easliy on there. That will be money well spend if they were married in Scotland after 1855. Those certificates will give you plently of info to get going on. Let me know if you need more help. Good luck Regards Margaret

Hi Kathleen, Censuses are only realeased after 100 years. The next one to be released will be in 2011 I'm afraid to say! I do have the 1881 for Scotland if you need any lookups. Regards Margaret
