I have not yet worked out if this is just an error.

1881
Registration Number: 424
Registration District: Dunfermline
Civil Parish: Dunfermline
County: Fife
Address: Ritlauchlie Cottage
WHITEHEAD James Head 41 Ag Lab Dunfermline Fife
WHITEHEAD Christina Wife 38 Kennoway Fife
WHITEHEAD Mary dau 18 Factory Worker Dunfermline Fife
WHITEHEAD Janet dau 10 Scholar Dunfermline Fife

WHITEHOUSE Margaret dau 5 Dunfermline Fife **
WHITEHOUSE Elizabeth dau 2 Dunfermline Fife **

Mary Terris Whitehead b. 8 Oct 1862 Dunfermline, Fife
James Whitehead & Christian Terris
Batch: C114241

Janet Whitehead b. 1 Feb 1871 Dunfermline, Fife
James Whitehead & Christina Terris
Batch: C114241

The marriage is not on FS so I don't yet know if it was before or after 1861 census.

The age gap might explain something.

No middle name here for Mary.

1890 SANDS ADRIAN WHITEHEAD MARY DUNFERMLINE /FIFE 424/00 0005

I don't have the date of the marriage.

1891
Civil Parish: Dunfermline
County: Fife
Address: Middle Row
Adrian Sands Head 29 Iron dresser Charlestown
Mary Wife 28 Dunfermline

FS has 'GRO6/275' but don't know what '275' is. It's not the Reg No.

1901
Civil Parish: Dunfermline
County: Fife
Address: Double Row
Adrian Sands Head 39 Iron dresser Dunfermline
Mary Wife 38 Dunfermline

FS does not have 1901.

I'd like another version of those two thanks with folio or reg no or page or roll or whatever.

re Whitehead/Whitehouse in 1881, all four girls are given as daughter to James. The family is on two pages:- James, Christina, Janet and Mary at the bottom of one page then Elizabeth and at the top of the next so it is probably an error in transcription.

ALSO, 1901 census gives Elizabeth as Whitehead :- RD Dunfermline, ED28, Hs Shed. 30, Roll CSSSCT1901_136
James Whitehead 61
Christina Whitehead wife 58
Elizabeth Whitehead dau 22
James Whitehead son 18
Christina Terries 17 neice

Thanks Elaine.

I think the gap is explained by two children not making it to the census. Perhaps only one:

Name: Christina Whitehead
Gender: Female
Birth Date: 21 May 1873
Birthplace: DUNFERMLINE,FIFE
Father's Name: James Whitehead
Mother's Name: Christina Terras
Batch: C114241

Scotlands People have James Whitehead m. Christian Terris 1862, so after 1861 census.

1861, Inverkeithing, Fife, Ed 4, HS 65, CSSSCT1861_57
Farm of Robert Crawford:-
in Ploughman's House
James Whitehead, 21, farm servant

1851 Dunfermline, Fife, ED 1A, Pg 41, HS 167, CSSSCT1851_87
Address :- Holehouse
William Whitehead, hd, 33, ag lab, Inverkeithing
Janet Whitehead, wife, 32, Torryburn
James Whitehead, son, 11, Dunfermline
Elizabeth Whitehead, dau, 3,Dunfermline
then 3 male servants given as part of same household but with address as Farm of Gallow Ridgehill

There is only the one possible James Whitehead in both censuses so I think that is the right one.
