Hi all Michael asked > Can anyone check the original copy/image/film of the following please, to confirm whether Alexander is 70 and not 60 > > 1841 Census > Piece: SCT1841/544 Place: Kilninian & Kilmore -Argyllshire Enumeration District: 11 > Civil Parish: Kilninian & Kilmore Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: > Folio: 11 Page: 6 > Address: Balligown > GILLIIS Alexander M 70 Farmer Argyllshire > GILLIS Christina F 55 Argyllshire > GILLIS Hugh M 16 Argyllshire > GILLIS John M 10 Argyllshire > MACNEIL Ann F 18 Female Servant Argyllshire Checked on ScotlandsPeople.  For GILLIIS read GILLIS (FreeCen got it wrong).  It is definitely 70.  Bear in mind that Enumerators were not averse to ignoring their Instructions and Alexander's age could have been rounded to the 'nearest' five rather than 'rounded down.'
