Could someone please tell me if Catherine can be found easily on the 1851 census by using Ancestry? I don't have Ancestry at the moment so I can't check. Then I'll buy some credits and get her from Scotland's People.

She is on Ancestry as Catharine Weshart, aged 26 b Fetteresso, Kincardsh, a house servant in the household of farmer, William Gray. The addy is Tullos Lands, Nigg, Kincardineshire.

Parish: Nigg; ED: 2; Page: 20; Line: 1; Roll 1240; Roll CSSCT1851-56

Thanks, Merry. I didn't realise until posting this thread that I didn't have her on the 1851 census. This exercise with the 2xgt grandparents is very good because it makes me review what I have (or haven't) done.
