Hi all
Am now having difficulty in finding birth certs for the following who appear on census 1891 in Peebles Scotland

Joseph Brown age 7yrs - b. 1883/84
Alexander Brown age 1yr - b.1890ish

Also in the census are James Brown 9yrs and Isabella age 4yrs (my granma) - I have got their birth certs and they were born in Cramond Midlothian

In 1881 their parents John & Jane (scobie) + Janet 6yrs and Jane 9yrs were at 235 West Pilton Farm Cramond Midlothian

What is surprising is that because I only found this info when I entered Isabellas name and age there were only the 4 names and I cannot find their parents John & Jane

I have sifted thro Scotlandspeople and wonder if you can help
Thank you so much

Hi
I'm not sure if I have this straight

You have
1891 Peebles
James Brown 9
Isabella Brown 4
Joseph Brown 7
Alexander Brown 1

1881 235 West Pilton Farm Cramond Midlothian
John Brown
Jane Brown
Jane Brown 9
Janet Brown 6

I can see this family as :

1881 West Pilton Farm Cramond Midlothian
John Brown 32
Jane Brown 32
Jane Brown 9
Janet Brown 6
Anne Brown 4
Agnes Brown 2
James Brown 3 MO

I wonder if you have picked the right family in 1891? There is also this one which seems to match the 1881 family

Leith North; ED: 20; Page: 49; Line: 2; Roll: CSSCT1891_363
4 Victoria Place Leith
John Brown 44
Jane S Brown 44
Agnes Brown 12
James Brown 10
Bella Brown 4
Alex Patience 27 [boarding with the family]

I think you might be chasing Joseph and Alex who are in the other family which is this one

Peebles 1891
Andrew Brown 38
Helen Brown 34
Agnes Brown 15
Andrew Brown 12
James Brown 9
Joseph Brown 7
Isabella Brown 4
Alexr Brown 1

Thank you for that info and yes it seems that I had the wrong family - the 1881 census listing was incomplete as I didnt know it went onto the last 3 children and so thought Jane & Janet were the only ones. I should have known also that my granma Isabella would appear in 1891 as she was b in 1886....what a numbhead I am....but thanks for putting me back on the straight path.....all I can say is that you are such a star
