The above Alex married to Hannah was a teacher of music in salford in 1861. I thought it was rather a jump from a farmer's lad to a music teacher! Start at the beginning and tell us who your definite ancestor is and we can help you work backwards. There are a few trees on ancestry who seem to have gone wrong. 1861 census transcription details for: Ins Of Blackford, Auchterless Print Close National Archive Reference: RG number: RG09 Piece: 173 Folio: 0 Page: 17 Reg.

Member Since: June 2003 Posts: 4,475 Send Message	I think you need to provide some more information! How does a Scottish birth in 1829 and an Irish Hannah end up in Greater Manchester? There's quite a vacuum in the middle there.
