1891 Scottish Census
I’m hoping that someone with an ancestry subscription might be able to help with this (as the FreeCen Scottish records only go up to about 1861/71), and I'm struggling to hit the jackpot via the Scotlands People route :(
Missing Person 1
John Davidson, who was born in 1850 in Petty, Inverness (according to the IGI)
Last found in Petty in 1871 (with his parents Donald and Margaret Davidson (nee Johnstone) –on the 1871 census he seems to be listed as 21 ( it ‘could’ read 31, but in 1861 he was definitely 11)
In 1894, John Davidson (farm servant) was living in Seafield, Forres, Elgin/Moray, where, age 38 (at least according to the marriage certificate!!!), he married a Margaret Shearer.
Missing Person 2
Isabella (aka. Isabel or Bella) Paterson, born in Findhorn, Kinloss, Elgin/Moray in 1865.
Last found in Forres, Elgin/Moray in 1881, age 11 (?!!)
Reappears in the 1901 census, age 34, living with her brother James Paterson, in Dyke, Elgin/Moray. She is often listed as a housekeeper or domestic servant but this does vary. I don't think she ever married.
Thanks -I'm really hoping that someone can help me get passed this brick wall
