Houstons/tweed manufacturers/Greenock/1851 census lookup please.

[cari]

I would be grateful for a lookup of the 1851 census for Greenock for two Houston families please.

1. William Houston b. circa 1796 & wife Jean/Jane b. circa 1806. In 1841 were living at East Blackhall St, Greenock. William was a tweed manufacturer.


2. William Lyle Houston (son of above) b. 1823 and wife Mary b. 1829, daughter Jane/Jean about 3 years old & infant Mary less than 1 year. William was also a tweed manufacturer...emigrated to Aus at end of 1851 or early 1852? Address East Blackhall St in 1841.

Many many thanks.

Hi,
Greenock is in Renfrewshire rather than Lnarkshire so you might find more success if you posted on the Renfrewshire area.

Thanks, Miron. This is now sitting in Renfrewshire.

However, Cari has not been on the forum since 11th February 2006... :o
