Hello listers, I'm wondering if anyone with access might be able to easily find this family on the 1861 census ? What I'm hoping to find, is another child (born after 1855), so that I might order their Scots civil registration birth certificate to obtain and confirm the mother's maiden name. The key person is James Mitchell age 14/15 in 1861 (I have him on the 1871 Birkenhead, solo). In 1861 he might be with either or both parents. I have him on the 1881 and 1901 Birkenhead. The family do not appear on the 1861 Glasgow census, nor the 1871/81 Birkenhead. Any assistance would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance. ~Please reply off list privately and I will post when a successful match is obtained.
