Looks like Mary in 1851 - Pauline's Thomas is with his mother and sister in 1851, posted earlier.


Mary Horsburgh
in the 1851 Scotland Census

Name: Mary Horsburgh

Household Members:
Name Age
Mary Horsburgh 33

The daughter Mary Wright is a bit of a puzzle - illegitimate but with father's surname, maybe??

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Presumably this is Mary Wright:

28/02/1843 WRIGHT -----
GEORGE WRIGHT/MARY KEPPIE FR349 (FR349) F
ORMISTON /EAST LOTHIAN 715/00 0020 0049


and then the daughter transcribed as Cecil in 1851:

20/10/1844 HORSBURGH EISELL
THOMAS HORSBURGH/MARY KEPPIE FR350 (FR350) F
ORMISTON /EAST LOTHIAN 715/00 0020 0052
