Hi All Many thanks to all those who have helped so far. Information to hand from Sheila confirms 1881 census( for Grange Place, Alloa, Clackmannan. Film No. 0203534;GRO Vol 465; Enum Dist 2; P.9) but we have now established that the first 3 children William Crawford, Janet Young, and George Alexander were all born to George GOW and Barbara CRAWFORD in Wick, Caithness. Barbara and George were married11 July 1871 at E.Kilbride, Lanark so maybe she was born there although her d.o.b is now estimated ( from Census) as 1844. I know of 3 other children..Netta, Margaret and Dona ld all of whom were probably born after 1881 so can anybody help with the 1891 census in case they are still in the same place, Alloa. Would like data on the CRAWFORDS and her syblings William, George and Jessie plus one other unknown. Thanks Hedley
