Is this them in 1841?

This may not be relevant....
I don't know if the man called Hector Dick is a brother or possibly a relation, but he was born in Crosshill, Kirkmichael, Ayrshire


Edit:
Hector Dick and Sarah Dick ( from above census ) were siblings.
Both born in Crosshill, Kirkmichael to William Dick and Agnes Walker.
The child named Agnes Stevenson age 1 was also born in Kirkmichael, and was the daughter of the said Sarah Dick with David Stevenson.
Hector and Sarah also had siblings called David Dick b 1814 and JAMES Dick b 1820 also born in Kirkmichael.

15yr old James Dick on this census was also born in Kirkmichael.
His mother is the Elizabeth Dick age 40 ( Ms Bryden), wife/widow of John Dick.

I'm sorry, I've not had any luck either. Don't know of a place in Ayrshire of that name. :-( :-(

And I see this is where you got his place and date of birth.

Parish or Poor Law Union: St Pancras
Borough: Camden
Register Name: Settlement and Relief, 1878

Looks like West Ferry, Ayrshire.


I also see you haven't had much luck in finding his birthplace on other forums.

I have found James on the 1851,1871,1881 1891,& 1901 Census.

Cannot find him on the 1861 Census or 1911. James died in 1913 I have a copy of his death certifcate.

James parents were James and Maria nee Russell.

James married Jane Deighton. James worked on the Railway

Hi Patricia, could you please post a census that you have him on? What is his father's name and occupation and do you have more information on him?
Did he marry at all?

Looking for information on the above, particularly his birth. I have a dob as 10 Feb 1841, this comes from a statement from his father and various census. I have birth place as West Fery? Ayrshire, Would be very keen to locate birth place, this is possibly an old place name and no longer exists :-)
