Hi, I am looking for Scottish census results for "Swarbrick" in Uphall. Any Census is fine as I am just starting out my research. Many Thanks

Wow that was quick. Thanks so much for the info so far. Much appreciated. Uphall is in West Lothian, very near to both Rathe (Ratho) and Kirkliston. I will certainly be following up these leads. Going to look at www.familysearch.org now. Thanks so much again for the information.

The 1881 SCT census is not online at the LDS site - it's only on their CDs. However, the advanced search option there is useful up to abt 1875. It's also useful to use the batch #s at:
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm
A record having a batch # beginning with C/E/M is an extract from an old parish register, or the GRO(S) index. Records without the batch # (and some other inital letters) are submitted (by LDS members, mostly) and are of variable quality and reliability.

To obtain images of SCT BMDs, censuses, OPR baptisms/marrs you'll need to get them from:
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

[Mistranscriptions, either modern or by the original enumerator, are far from unusual - e.g., RathE for RathO - which is why you ought to buy the image to see for yourself - they're abt 1 GBP each]

Incidentally, Kirkliston is the next parish to Uphall, see:

There are also old county maps showing parishes here.

John and Thomas are the right age to be James's brothers, but I've no idea whether they are or not.

Thankyou very much for this info. I'm not 100% percent sure it isrelevent but it sounds like it might. Just a couple of missing links now I think. I'm going to post a new thread requesting marriage information for Alexander Swarbrick as I think he may be my Great Grandad. Thanks Again for your help.
