They also have 1861 street/building indexes for Bonhill, Cardross, Dumbarton and Rhu/Row. They have an 1871 Head of Household/male employed index for Cardross, plus various 1891 indexes. Curiously, that have an 1851 index of all McGregors in Dunbartonshire parishes. I don't know the current situation, but Glasgow & W. of Scotland FHS was doing 1851 census indexes for their area on computer, and may now have Dunbartonshire available - check with them. Don't neglect other sources, such as voters rolls, which go back to 1841 for Dumbarton. _____ COCHNO comes from COCKNO, a hill (1140 ft.), loch (half a mile long) and burn (runs from the loch past Cockno House to join Duntocher burn at Duntocher) in Old Kilpatrick parish The other places will be names of farms or buildings, so not large enough to get into a gazetteer. The local library service may be able to identify them on old O.S. maps. Professional Historical/Genealogical Researcher specialising in pre-1700 records.
