    Default George Edington

    Could anyone take a look at this census trying to work out where George Edington was born in Scotland

    This is the reference number for the 1891 Census

    Looks like Kingstone. There is a Kingston in East Lothian, just below North Berwick.

    George was born before registration of BMD started (1837 in England & Wales, about 1855 inScotland), so you can't get a birth certificate for him. Look for his marriage on the complete GRO index, either at a library or online at sites such as https://www.familyrelatives.org/tree...omer/index.jsp or www.1837online.org.uk Then you can order the marriage certificate online through the government site https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificate/
    The birth certificates of any children will give Janes maiden name.

    Think I may have found George's family in the 1841 census. In 1871 his brother Robert 47 is living with George & Jane. Search on Robert on the freecen site https://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl & it comes up with a family at Athelstaneford, which is not far from Kingston.

    Would Robert not have been only 19. I suppose his age could have been wrong on the 1871 census.
    I found George in 1841 on the site that you posted he is living with a family called Bathgates as Ag Lab 15
    Robert with the Edingtons live next door to a Bathgate family (COINCIDENCE)

    Thanks for putting me in the right direction as this was my first visit to this site. Sorry I didnt reply last night as we had a power cut while I was busy surfing.

    Hi Brian
    Don't take ages in the census to seriously. I have one chap over 5 censuses who gives a different date of birth every time - 1820, 1816, 1821, 1819, 1818.
    In 1841 George is at Yester, which is about 10 miles south of Athelstaneford.

    Strangely enough, I did the same thing when I hit 40 (1963, then 1964, then 1965, etc)!
