Hi Chrissie
I had a look at the free search of the 1911 census on Scotland's people as Lesley advised you in post #29. Does this sound like your family in Dunfermline? All with reference 424/19/3.
Christina Johnstone 56
Christina 12
James 20
David 23
Robert 15
To see the full record you will have to register and buy a few credits as Lesley suggested.
