Please can someone help me by looking at the transcription on Ancestry (my subs. have run out) for William Graham age 25 born Scotland living Liverpool, West Derby, Toxteth Park 14/208. Very many thanks,
Cath.
Cath - The only two I can find living in Liverpool seem way out fromyour criteria. Both of these born in Scotland, but one was married to an Isabella and was 31 years, and the other William Graham was 48 years, a boarder, and a sailor on home leave.
Gwyn - In the index I found Wm. Graham, born Scotland, age 25....ED, inst. or vessel 14, Household schedule 208. Is this the one you have? My chap was a Wine merchants clerk in 61 but then I loose him. If it's the same one is it possible for you to give me the rest of the household.
Thanks again,
Cath.
Hi Cath,
I've had a quick look for you and the only William graham age 25 born in Scotland in 1871living in Liverpool is at 65 Bute St, Everton where he's shown as a lodger. His occupation is warehousman.
Is this the one?
Margaret
Very odd - the ref. I found def.says West Derby, Toxteth Park as the addy. then ED inst. or vessel 14, household schedule 208. I wonder why it doesn't appear for anyone else.
Cath.
To find a census entry, you need the folio and page numbers. There's nowhere on the form to put address, or ed,inst vessel and household schedule number.
I can't see any males born Scotland in West Derby.
Sorry everyone
I've just realised I found the reference via nationalarchives.gov.uk/census/ and not directly from Ancestry. I just entered William Graham, residing Lancashire, born 1846 +/-2 in Dumfries and he's the fourth person listed. Any help very much appreciated.

Nell, birth not registered but he's with family in Dumfries in 1851 and living with Uncle in Liverpool in 1861. Then he disappears. Surviving (adult) siblings and his widowed mother are all in Birkenhead and Liverpool area by 1871.
Cath,
I have had a look at 1871 census and found a William Graham aged 25 born Scotland. He was living at 65 Bute Street, Everton, Liverpool. He is shown as a lodger and his occupation is a warehouseman.

Civil registration didn't start in Scotland until 1855, so the best you are likely to find is his baptism in the Old Parochial Registers (OPRs) on ScotlandsPeople.
Just had a look for Willaim Graham, Dumfriesshire in 1844 (4), 1845 (2) and 1846 (2).
So it will cost one credit (20p) to get a list of these 8 people. I've got no credits left, unfortunately.
Thank U John .The ones on SP have the wrong parents. I've just gone back to looking for this chap (Grandad's brother) after leaving him alone for a couple of years. It's beginning to look like yet another brick wall!
Cath.
