Atholl, Unfortunately the 1881 census, which I have here on CD, does not give proper place names for the households in the parish of Dowally. I know who was living and farming at Dalcapon in 1881. This was Donald Ferguson & family (his mother was a Butter, hence my interest). Their entry is simply given the address "Farmhouse". There is Forbes household nearby: Dwelling: Census Place: Dunkeld & Dowally, Perth, Scotland Source: FHL Film 0203504 GRO Ref Volume 344 EnumDist 2 Page 10 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Duncan FORBES M 65 M Logierait, Perth, Scotland Rel: Head Occ: General Labourer Isabella FORBES M 65 F Blair Athole, Perth, Scotland Rel: Wife Duncan FORBES M 29 M Logierait, Perth, Scotland Rel: Son Occ: House Joiner Isabella FORBES M 28 F Thurso, Caithness, Scotland Rel: Daughter In Law Occ: Joiners Wife Isabella FORBES 1 F Edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland Rel: Grand Daur From the mid 19th century Ordnance Survey maps at http://www.old-maps.co.uk I can't see a Balmore but searching Google for Balmore and Ballinluig (the nearest village of any size) a copuple of funeral director's intimations come up for folk who lived there recently. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Balmore+Ballinluig%22&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe= UTF-8 I'm sure I've driven past it before, as I'm often in the area, but there are a couple of folk on this list who live in the area so perhaps they can throw some light on it.
