    Hello Pat :
    
    Isobel had transcribed the Craig census for 1841 and offered to do look-ups. Here is the E-Mail I sent to her and her reply. I too think itmight beour family - but with a puzzle thrown in. What do you think?
    Cheers

    Hello Isobel :
    
    Might I take advantage of your kind offer, when you have a spare moment?
    My old Grandparents might have beenstill living in Craig by Montrose in 1841 as their child born in 1842 was also born there.
