Census records are very often difficult to read because of handwriting, microfilm quality, and spelling issues. Our early census takers were not as well educated as we'd like them to have been, and even the people bearing the names often could not spell them with the same consistency we are accustomed to in this era. The census taker wrote what he believed he heard as well as he could. These have been transcribed for you to the very best or our abilities given the difficulties mentioned. Please be tolerant of what you would consider "mistakes." If you can recognize the names you are looking for, then it is a success. If not, then you may want to find a place where you can view the originals so that you can judge for yourselves. Excessive attention to outmoded spelling issues is the sign of a beginner in family research. Those of you who have been at this a while are well aware of the "spelling errors" in our early records and have learned to take them in your stride. If you want to tell us what is right and what is wrong with the transcription, your notes will be added to the Comment Page
If you want to send in additonal information about people on these pages OR if you want to dispute the handwriting interpretation, that note will go at the bottom of the appropriate page. All comments MUST refer to an exact page, preferably by URL [address].

September 2008 - My great grandfather, Peter Boyd is in the census, page 438B, listed as Peter Bide.  When I was in his hometown of Cumbernauld, Scotland some years ago, I visited a possible family relative and told him this.  "But that's how we say it," he said.  So I suppose that is what the census taker heard and spelled it accordingly.  Thought this might help someone who is looking for Boyds.   Marlea Rice Warren
