This is the only Robert Black registered anywhere in Scotland 1830-40, with father James and mother Helen: |

As we don't know where James Black was born - not necessarily Scotland - and it's such a common name - and we can't find a marriage record - we haven't much hope of verifying his birth date. |

Searching with husband's surname Black, and wife's first name Helen, in Dunfermline (per 1851 census above), this is the only marriage 1805-20: |

Surely if they were twins they would have the same surname? |

Thanks Stuart .I checked Scotlands people for records but could only find records for Isabella .John. Richard. What I did find out 1841 census shows Ann Black age 3 months she is daughter of Isabella Black father showing as a Mr Dickson going with that it would appear that Helen Black is same person in both census records. Would you think Ann Black was a twin as 1841 census shows Isabella Ramsay also aged 3 months. Regards Billy |

Are these the 2 census you are comparing? 1841 census does not normally show relationships, but on the face of it, a Helen Black would appear to be recorded with her children. I cannot find any information on Scotland's people re Baptisms for this family to confirm, nor any info on Family Search. Marriage or death certificates might show parents names if you can chase those children"s names through using the Scotlands People pay to view site. |

I'm wondering if anyone can help .James BLack married Helen Robertson and had three children that I know of Isabella 1820 John 1827 Richard 1837. This is confirmed with 1851 census Cowan st KIrkcaldy.What I'm trying to find out is was there more. children in this family The reason I think there might be the 1841 census for HIgh st KIrkcaldy shows Helen Black with more than the above three children .James Black does not show in these census records I put that down to the fact he was serving in the merchant navy and would be away .Regards Billy . |
