Neil Galbraith, b ~1841, Gigha -->Wales

Postby STG » Sun Feb 02, 2014 11:38 am

While researching a branch of my Galbraiths from Kintyre, I came across a Neil Galbraith from Gigha in a couple of census records in Wales. I suspect the he is not a relative, but in Kintyre - and Gigha - you cannot be certain...

The records have very thin detail, and in the 1911 census are wrongly indexed; they would be difficult to find by normal search methods. I'm therefore summarising them here, with references, so that others working on his family have a better chance of finding them. My corrections are in square brackets.
