1891 Census, Tain, Ross & Cromarty, Scotland

Partial Transcriptions

The following have been transcribed by Janet Connochie from microfilmed copies of the 1891 Census of Scotland. The films were obtained through my local Family History Center.

Film Number 0208628 - 1891 Census, Ross & Cromarty, Parishes 078- 082 (Nigg, Resolis, Rosemarkie, Rosskeen, Tain)

As mentioned elsewhere, the information here is in no way complete, and simply consists of those entries which I have transcribed for others as a "lookup", or were of specific interest to me (and those contained on any copies I obtained of those of interest to me).
Where Do or, " were used to denote ditto, I have filled in the implied information.
In some instances, especially a wife's occupation where is says such and such's wife, a line has been drawn through on the form. I have indicated this by using italics.
