Hi Bob, Thank you for the info. This David Dowie that you sent me, for sure is mine, hence trying to get hold of 1841 Census Would you know if the Census are held anywhere in MLN other than the GRO? Perhaps a Library in the area? West Calder? Livingston? John Dowie & Janet Smith are my Gr-Gr-Grand Parents.......not to mention my brickwall for many years......like 20y++<GG> I really appreciate you help Kind regards Merrylee East Midlands "Christening Date: 19 Nov 1837 Recorded in: Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland Father: John DOWIE Mother: Janet SMITH Source: FHL Film 1066637 Dates: 1820 - 1855"

Sorry I don't have any leads for you other than a visit to the FHC, they may have data in the system. I have not looked for the 1841 census yet. I just checked the Familysearch.com site and can't get into it. Maybe down or overloaded at this time. Take a look at their on-line catalog and see if you can find the films numbers. I live in Canada. Bob ===================================== Mac wrote: <SNIP> Hi Bob, > >Thank you for the info.
