Hi Maggie

Had a few spare credits on SP. Looked up the 1861 census-found Peter & Sarah living in Old Monkland with their daughters
Jane 5
Elizabeth 3
Janet 1

Sorry no sign of Margaret

Hope this helps?

Hello. Thanks but I am not sure if that is them. Was Peter born in Ireland? name was also written smythe Think Sarah was also born Ireland.

Hi Maggie

Had another look -no this Peter and Sarah were not born in Ireland .There are another two likely candidates (Peter) one aged 48 the other 44-sorry no more credits left or I would have looked at them for you .

Maybe worth while buying some credits and having a look for your self.

Cheers

Frances

Hi Maggie,
Meant to send this last night.
The family that Frances kindly found for you were all as born Old Monkland.
But there is yet another Peter & Sarah.
Names from an index, but full details should be on Scotlandspeople.
