Hi Bonnie Sorry to take so long, other things to do :-( > So you're saying that there is NO Census images for Scotland? There are images on Scotlands People but the Scots GRO have it so as you cannot get access without either using their site or visiting Scotland. So Ancestry have the next best thing in the transcription. With the ability to try all sorts of combinations it allows much more to be tried that would simply cost to much on Scotlands People as they have their search engine dummed down to get more income. > I was looking for John Bell (born Ireland) c.1832 living in Stevenston, > Ayrshire in 1861 OR still in Airdrie, Lanarkshire with wife Ann. See below > I have the Ancestry subscription for Canada, to include Britain, it works > out to about $400. Ridiculous price per person. Its 69gbp for the UK Ancestry, how much is Canada ? Here looks like your man although the birth year is way off, does it look like yours? the age could be mistranscribed, only way to check is get the image. Registration Number: 615 Registration district: Stevenston Civil parish: Stevenston County: Ayrshire Address: No 19 Main St ED: 2 Page: 28 Household schedule number: 169 Line: 17 Roll: CSSCT1861_90 John BELLs Occupation: Coal Miner John Bell abt 1824 Ireland Head Stevenston Ayrshire Ann Bell abt 1828 Ireland Wife Stevenston Ayrshire Ann Bell abt 1860 Airdrie, Lanarkshire Daughter Stevenston Ayrshire Farny Bell abt 1857 Airdrie, Lanarkshire Daughter Stevenston Ayrshire Ester Bell abt 1854 Airdrie, Lanarkshire Daughter Stevenston Ayrshire (presume Farny is Fanny?) There is a Fanny BELL registered 1857 and an Ann registered 1860 Airdrie on Scotlands People that would tell you a lot more, its also worth checking the 1861 enumerators page as it may give you more, sometimes a birth place in Ireland?
