Hi List, I have been helped in the past by folks on this list and need further help now. I have several questions. Background: Allan Bowie appears in the 1841 census on Campbell Street in Johnstone with his family. I have them from there forward to the United States. I can only find one birth record for Allan Bowie on LDS website and Scotland's people that is the appropriate age and locality for my Allan. The parents listed are John Bowie and Jean Cunningham/Canningham. When doing a parent search at Family Search I come up with a brother, John, born 3-4 years earlier than my Allan. Now I am trying to connect this John to my Allan in the 1841 census but there appears to be several John Bowie's and I am not sure which is the correct one. One is 50 and probably too old for him; one is 40 and closer to his age and one is only 30 and probably too young. 1. Did they round up or down in the ages in the census? If so by 5 year intervals? Yet children appear to be more appropriately recorded to correct age? 2. Were all births registered in the OPR's? I have found Allan's birth on Scotland's people but not John's although it is recorded on Family Search. 3. John the brother appears to have married. There is one with an appropriate location, and close age, to a Martha Allan and I have the films listed but I don't think that they give much further information. I don't want to just assume that this is the one. How can I get any further documentation? Thank you Janet **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
