Hi Eleanor, I found the following on Ancestry, please bear in mind that some of Ancestry's transcriptions are fairly awful, but it may give you a lead. As far as I know there isn't a Dalkeith in Perthshire. Name: George Skinner Age: 8 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1863 Gender: Male Where born: Dalkeith, Perthshire Registration Number: 479/1 Registration district: Falkirk Burgh Civil Parish: Falkirk Burgh County: Stirlingshire Address: Poor's House Occupation: Scholar ED: 5 Page: 44 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 222 Line: 23 Roll: CSSCT1871_83 Neither Christian/Christina nor Alexander seem to be in the same location. Steve > I am searching for George Skinner on the 1871 census. He was born in > Dalkeith September 1861 so would be nine years old.
You might have hit on something here as in the 1881 census my Gt Grandfather gives his place of birth as Falkirk. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 20 January 2008 17:21 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MIDLOTHIAN] Skinner Hi Eleanor, I found the following on Ancestry, please bear in mind that some of Ancestry's transcriptions are fairly awful, but it may give you a lead.
