Hello,

1851
Civil Parish: Torryburn
County: Fife
Address: Huntey Nyad
RETTIE Adam 1791 age 60 ? [70] Hand Loom Weaver Collon Cubroy, Perthshire [Culross]
KILTIE Margaret 1789 age 62 Weaver Catton Pathhead, Midlothian

From Death Certificate:
Death: 14 Feb 1861; Torryburn, Fife, Scotland; Adam Keltie, weaver, married; age 80 years; parents Adam Keltie, seaman and Elizabeth Keltie M.S. Blair; died from gradual decline from old age; witness James Masterton, neighbour.

I suppose it's possible James also died before the 1861 census on 7 April. I don't know how old that James is but there are two of them so I'm chasing one here. This is the second one, an uncle:

James MASTERTON b. 6 Sep 1808 c. 2 OCT 1808 Torryburn, Fife, Scotland
Adam MASTERTON & Cecil BLACK

Regards,

Dave

Hello Julie,

Thank you very much.

Well now. It's not the one born 1832 son of George. It's the James born 1808 who among other siblings that includes George b. 17 Nov 1806 Torryburn, is a William born 20 Oct 1804 Torryburn.

Regards,

Dave
