  • Lds 1881 census

    Hi Everyone, anybody having trouble finding people in the LDS 1881 Census on ScotlandsPeople?
    I have searched for family whom I know were in Glasgow area at that time, used variables on names and typed in surname only (common name in Scotland) not one single hit , how can a common name not register at all?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I do remember reading that Guy said that the LDS did not film the 1881 for Scotland as they were not given permission to do so. so presume that is why you cannot find them on the LDS 1881.

    maybe throw some names out for us to have a look as well.

      There are no images in the LDS version, that is correct but there is a transcription so you should find your people. Check out the what we are doing pages on SP as customer complaints have resulted in them fixing and/or improving features of the site. There are tips and dos and donts for searching the various databases in the meantime till the issues are fixed. Maybe there's a known bug in the census search fields?

        Hello Darksecretz, in the last Lost Cousins Newsletter, Peter Calver stated that the LDS 1881 census for Scotland was available and free on ScotlandsPeople and gave instructions on how to access it, the setup is exactly as he stated, have a look for yourself at their site if you are a member. I think that I will have to contact Peter and ask him about it.
        Thanks.
        Toby.

          Thanks GallowayLass, perhaps I should wait and see what happens, you may be correct about a bug.

                I think that you are using too many search criteria. for example if you just put in Gray and Glasgow you get 647 hits. similarly if you just put in Gray you also get lots of hits, it'll be just a case of looking through and seeing if you can spot them.

                  I found a family that looked quite promising on Ancestry, apart from the fact there was also another son Henry aged 6. They are living in Dalziel, so I searched on SP 1881 LDS just putting in Gray and living Dalziel but he doesn't show up. There are some addresses in Dalziel that do but Baird's Land where they are living doesn't. So I seem to be having the same problem as Toby.
                  p.s. The ones on Ancestry have parents Robert and Mary and both Roberts' (father and son) are Coal Miners.

                    I can't get them to come up in LDS version either Toby. The full 1881 version does show a 1 year old Elizabeth in Dalziel and a 6 year old Henry. I tried them separately. You'll need to let SP know you are having problems.

                      Sorry, I meant there was one you hadn't mentioned but it was a Mary aged 4, you had of course already mentioned Henry. They are Robert 43 - Mary 39 - Robert 15 - William 13 - Thomas 9 - Henry 6 - Mary 4 - Elizabeth 1.

                        Hi Chrissie, this will be them, they were in the Dalziel area in 1891 and they were all over the place in the Glasgow area. Robert and Mary are the parents and Henry one of the sons, correct age in 1881. I dont have Ancestry so could you give me the family of Robert and Mary, this would be great! Thanks!

                              Thanks GallowayLass, as you can see I have the details from Chrissie but as you say I need to follow up because I have more names to search.
                              Cheers.

                                I never thought I'd say this LOL but thank heavens for an***try. This is your family in Baird's Land as expected. Robert, Thomas, Henry and Elizabeth do not come up either singly or together in any combo on SPs LDS version or on FMP either.
                                As another thread on here says, t'int right, t'int fair, t'int proper. So worry not Toby, t'int thee, t'is they :-)

                                  Father born New Monkland, mother Ireland, first two children Old Monkland and the rest Dalziel apart from Mary who was born in England.

                                  Old Monkland is correct reg. dist. for Coatbridge.

                                    You are absolutely correct, I was putting in too much info. it wont work if you put in an age range. I kept to the basics, though it will accept a first name, anyway I browsed around and found a few more of the family so I am chuffed!
                                    Bye.

                                        Mary born in England, wow! that throws up a new avenue of thought, she is not with the family in 1891. Some good searching coming up!
                                        Cheers.
