Hello List, Would someone be kind enough to look up the 1851 and 1861 census for a McAlpine family. My great grandmother's name was Margaret Stewart McAlpine she was born in 1851 in Stranraer, Wigtonshire, Scotland. She or her family moved to New Zealand as she married John Veitch in Dunedin, NZ on 16 April 1872. Thank you Kindest Regards Lori Adkins Colorado, USA

Hello Sandra, Thanks so much for doing this look up. Was this the only family with an Elizabeth as a daughter and were all the family born in Ireland or just the Father?

Could not find her!) Margaret McAlpin aged 11 William McAlpin aged 8 Edward McAlpin aged 6 Agnes McAlpin aged 3 Thos McAlpin aged 2 Mary McAlpin aged 5 months Could the 1951 James Heto McAlpine also be 1861 Mary H McAlpine (Heto maybe a maiden name). Note that his name reverts to James Henry McAlpin in 1861 Census. Could this be a transcription error? There seem to be plenty on this Census. Original documents are not available for sighting unfortunately so could not check for you. There was another family with a daughter Margaret in Wigtownshire but she was not born until 1857.
