Hi I have Andrew Ferrier born 1849 Falkirk sister Joan Born 1848 Falkirk
Parents Andrew Ferrier possibly born Falkirk & Elizabeth Mullholand born county Derry Ireland

I've got the censuses for Andrew 1848 from 1861 but I can't find anything for them in 1851
I think Andrew's father Andrew died in 1852?? their is a death in Falkirk for an Andrew Ferrier aged 70

And an Eliza Ferrier married a Robert Currie 1855 Falkirk

In 1861 I have a census for an Elizabeth Ferrier 56 with a Robert Currie and an Elizabeth Currie also an Andrew Ferrier aged 10 and a Joan Ferrier but her age is 30??
This 1861 is on Ancestry

Could someone look at the 1861 census on find my past to see if the ages are different and see if anyone can find them in 1851 please

I didn't want to get credits if I could help it I haven't got any left so I'd have to buy 30
if all fails that's what I'll do
