Avril I just had another look for your Lain family in the 1851 Census and still couldn't find them. But I see that John Lain snr was a Butler so I suppose he may have moved back South or perhaps elsewhere within the UK. I had a look in the 1861 Census and found what may be John Lain junior living in Newcastle upon Tyne with his wife Hannah. A John Lain married in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1857. Unfortunately Free BMD has not transcribed his wife. 8 Snowdon (?) Street, St Andrews Parish, Newcastle upon Tyne John LAIN, 27, Head, born Edinburgh, french polisher. Hannah LAIN, 27, wife, born Hartlepool, Co Durham Margaret A Bone, visitor, 15, servant, born Newcastle upon Tyne I can't find him in 1871.

As the parents were both English-born, it is likely that had the children baptised in a Church other than the Church of Scotland. The baptism registers on the Scotlands People website are those of the Church of Scotland. However the Deaths and Burials Index (pre-1855) lists the deaths in the St Cuthbert's Parish of Edinburgh of Alexander Wood Lain (1843) and Grace Hill Lain (1844). I had a look at the image relating to Grace. She was the daughter of John Lain and died of fever at 9 Haugh Street, Edinburgh on 1 October 1844. She was 14. There was one other Lain listed in Edinburgh. A Janet Lain who died in 1844. I couldn't find John Lain or his wife Helen on the statutory registers death index (1855 onwards). So they either died before 1855 and are not on the index, or they didn't die in Scotland. I will send you the image of Grace's entry in the death register off-list.

Apologies for that. The followoing is what should have been sent: According to the 1841 census, William Lain is recorded as 10 months old and living in 12 Hermitage Place, St Cuthbert's - Midlothian. ( father John Lain and mother Helen) I need to get information regarding his birth. If anyone is researching this time period in the relevant parish registers, would it be possible for them to look up this information, as they are doing their own research? I have also drawn a blank for the whole of the family in the 1851 census - so any helpful pointers would be very much appreciated I live in Plymouth, and am happy to look up records in my local library if this is helpful to anyone.
