yes, and also from Scotland. Probably family, maybe even a daughter, I'll have a look for a Mary Hannah Muir

Mary is shown as FS - female servant

BTW, who would Mary Hannah be, what does it say in the census?

Yes already done the correction.

Typical mistranscription from Ancestry

Acutally stood out like a sore thumb if you just searched for James born 1800+/- 2 years and Scotland

Thanks alot! I see somebody has already added the correction !

And the Brewis family are actually living next door.

Ancestry has it as HUER

Done it again

Thought Minister was his first name and Sunderland his last name

;-)

thanks, I'll have a look at the census, probably wrong trancription on ancestry

There is this, on the original states a Minister
