Dear list, For anyone swithering (wondering) whether to buy the 1881 census on cd, I would say it is a great help in augmenting information on families which you have and know but haven't quite cemented together. ****I will have to send this message to 3 lists as these families moved around over the space of 80 years. If you have already seen this and these are not names you are interested in, please delete, now. Using the 1881 census I have just been sorting out the family of William NEILSON (b. ? when?) Farmer? from KILLEARN Stirlinghshire (though I don't know yet where he was born) and Agnes McCOWNIE/McONIE b. abt. 1800 at PORT of MENTEITH, Perthshire. They married 14 Jan 1826 at KILLEARN, Stirlingshire and their 9 (so far) children were all b. at KILLEARN, Stirlingshire. In the following generation, I have just found the marriage of their dau. Catherine NEILSON b. 1838 and am going to send for that certificate, as it will show Catherines mother's name, Agnes NEILSON ms McONIE who died 1880 at DRYMEN and I cannot get her death cert. from Salt Lake as they have certificates for 1855 until 1875 and 1881 + 1891 only. These Neilsons and Dymocks seem to have waited for the birth of a male child before marrying. Catherine NEILSON married William DYMOCK 06 Dec. 1864 at DRYMEN, Stirlingshire children were: James DYMOCK 5 Dec 1864 Drymen, Stirlingshire, then they moved to BONHILL, Duunbartonshire, William Neilson DYMOCK 17 Mar 1867 Bonhill Duunbartonshire Agnes DYMOCK 18 Nov 1868 Bonhill Jane DYMOCK 26 Nov 1870 Bonhill Catherine Neilson DYMOCK 6 Jan 1873 Bonhill Don't know if there were other children born to this couple. Haven't found Catherine NEILSON/DYMOCk on the cd yet, she may have died prior to 1881. will have to look further into that. Hope this is of some help to people searching these names and places, regards, Maureen Kuzyk ms McOnie
