Hi everyone, Still finding my way around these lists and have messed up quite a few times. Someone told me it might be possible to look up Settlement Records and also that there might be censuses prior to 1841 to locate an ancestor who came from England to Scotland. His name was William FINCHER and he married Barbara GARDEN on 8th April 1826 in Nigg, Kincardine. Does anyone know whether there are settlement records for Nigg? Where would I look for them if they exist? Are there any census records pre 1841 in Kincardine or Aberdeen? Also any ideas on why my William FINCHER might have moved to Kincardine/Aberdeen during this period. He was described as a stone dresser in the 1841 census in Old Machar, Aberdeen. This is a 15 year old mystery i.e. where did William FINCHER originally come from? I am a desperate woman!!! Help! Rhonda Thompson, Sydney, Australia
