Hi: Could someone place look ont the early census for me (Paisley) and see if you can find the families of: Joseph Johnston (b. 1832 in Paisley, Scotland) Jean Young (b. 1838 in Paisley, Scotland). They both died in 1896 in Guadalajara Mexico. I am in Canada and don't have access to the early census - is there a 1841 census for Paisley? Thanks! Heather Hess nee Wilson Cualli Tonalli!

Hi Heather: If you go to http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl, you will find listings for the 1841 census. I found the following info for you. There are also two 5-year old Jean Youngs listed. If you have any other info about her, you should be able to determine which is the right one. Hope this helps.
