OK - Here goes.

1. Click on Gallery at top of page
2. Click on Upload File (Blue lettering at top)
3. Click on Browse (this will allow you to find the file on your PC - it must be smaller than 2048 in size)
4. Click on the filename on your PC (It will now appear in the box to the left of the Browse button)
5. Click on Continue
6. If it succeeds, click on Continue
7. Choose "(Public Galleries) Certificates - Help with deciphering" from the drop down box
8. Click on Continue

With any luck Admin will add it to you post fairly soon after that, but not necessarily right away.
The system is actually quite easy. Good Luck

Hi Jan,

Can you tell us what year, area, parish etc... the census records you found were for?

If you go to it again and select the text on the web page, right click with your mouse and select copy, then paste it into a new message, we might be able to identify the details.

FreeCen has :

Piece: SCT1841/119 Place: Strath -Inverness-shire Enumeration District: 11
Civil Parish: Strath Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -
Folio: 11 Page: 2
Address: Island Of Scalpal

Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
GRANT Lauchlan M 40 Ag Lab Inverness-shire
GRANT Margaret F 20 Inverness-shire
GRANT Donald M 13 Inverness-shire
GRANT Donald M 10 Inverness-shire
GRANT Neil M 7 Inverness-shire
GRANT Colin M 6 Inverness-shire
GRANT Norman M 2 Inverness-shire
GRANT Helen F 6m Inverness-shire

I checked the IGI:

the 10 year old Donald:
Birth: 08 AUG 1830
Christening: 08 SEP 1830 Strath, Inverness, Scotland
Parents:
Father: LACHLAN GRANT
Mother: HELEN CHISHOLM
Messages: Extracted birth or christening record

13 year old:
Birth: 12 JUN 1828
Christening: 19 JUL 1828 Strath, Inverness, Scotland
Father: LACHLAN GRANT
Mother: EFFY CHISHOLM
Messages: Extracted birth or christening record

So who was Lachlan's wife - he looks widowed here - the 20 year old Margaret can't be the mother of most of those kids - daughter perhaps, and the rest 2 seperate families.

Do you know the rest of the family and the background?

Civil Parish: Strath Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: -

Margaret is noted as wife here [not recorded in 1841] and the 'other' Donald has gone.
