Hi Diann, I have access, but only at weekends. In the meantime, you can check the D&GCIS transcript at http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/HistoricalIndexes/census.aspx#search Select Wigtown from the drop-down Parish list, and type 1/106 into the Household No box. I'm not sure why the D&GCIS has this a s schedule 106 vs 107 in John Roy's index. Either way, it will be easy to find on the LDS film of the original records. Although this couple are James & Jean, they are too young to have been married in 1779. Let me know if they are otherwise of interest. Not sure if I'll get the chance this coming weekend. To answer your other question, one can access the original from either Scotlandspeople or any LDS Family History Centre. The latter would be a tedious way to do it if you are only after the one household. Scotlandspeople now have images of the original records for 1841 thru 1871, plus 1891 and 1901. Their 1881 records are only the same transcribed data which one can get from the LDS on CD or fiche. Regards, Bruce __________________ Hello everyone! I have found a promising lead in the 1851 census for my 4th greatgrandfather, James Neilson. He was married to Jane (Jean) Cochran on 11 Jan 1779. They had a daughter, Elisabeth Neilson in Parish Unknown, Wigtown abt. 1783. Elisabeth died in Stoneykirk on 10 Apr 1861. I found this reference to Jame Neilson at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~leighann/parishes/wigtown/census/wigtown51.htm NEILSON James Seq. 103, Page27, En District 1. I am wondering if anyone has access to the original record and if so, if they would be able to send a copy of it to me. If not, I am wondering how to go about obtaining a copy of it. Would that be through Scotlands People or the LDS? Any help would be appreciated greatly. Regards Diann
Thank you Bruce. I have been to that site before but totally forgot about it. It's been at least a year, and it went off my radar. You're right..that couple is too young to be the ones that I am looking for. I'll have to look everything over and see if there is a record which might fit. I really appreciate your help. Thank you!
