Could someone do a census search for me please for Hill of Balmedie, Belhelvie, Aberdeenshire for 1881 and 1891 census. Anyone with the name Forbes is important for my information. I need to work out a connection and have found that this address is one of them. :-)

Are these the only Forbes there on those years? No sign of other Forbes at this address at the same time as above?
Thanks for your help

These are the only ones at that address. Who are you looking for specifically?
Remember people did move around over the years especially if their job changed.
