    Hi Thanks for response - yes this census record is indeed the Alexander Pirnie's that I described. I do already have this record. I have a reasonable amount of info on Alexander Pirnie, born 1824 but very, very little on his father Alexander and grandfather Alexander (all masons) I have found very few records on Scotlands People - and also have found a few red herrings which I have eliminated after finding different families on Ancestry.com who "lay claim" to them. lol. I believe my Pirnie chain hail from Dundee/Monifieth area - so have been trying the mason link to see whether the Pirnie name is recorded in any mason records. Thanks again for your prompt reply to my post.
