Rootgatherer,
I think the year of birth for Grace (McConnel)l is a guestimate.
It appears she died soon after the birth of her youngest child Helen, born 1837.
As her husband Andrew Murray was bc 1798, I think Eveie has assumed that Grace was a similar age.
The two 1841 returns you posted look right. 3yr old Helen is with her paternal aunt and father Andrew is with his older children
In 1861, Andrew is also found in the Travis household entered as brother

Rootgather got it via tree on ancestry but thats as far as they got
aswell
