I AM WRITING TO YOU AS I AM DOING SOME FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH AND AFTER YEARS OF SERCHING I HAVE RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT MY MOTHERS GRANDFATHER ROBERT HUNTER BORN C1838 CAME FROM GLASGOW AND WAS LIVING IN LANARKSHIRE WITH HIS PARENTS AGE 13 IN 1851 IN NETHER FINGLAND.

HIS FATHER WAS JAMES HUNTER BORN C. 1797 AND HIS MOTHER WAS ISSABELLA HUNTER BORN C.1804.

JAMES IS LISTED AS A SHEPARD IN 1851 CENSUS.

BY 1861 JAMES AND ISABELLA HAD MOVED TO END OF VILLAGE OF BAILLIESTON .

HIS OCCUPATION IS LISTED AS PROPRIOTOR OF HOUSE AND LANDS.

MY GREAT GRANDFATHER HAD MOVED TO LIVE IN NOTTINGHAM ENGLAND

HE IS LISTED AS A TRAVELLING DRAPER

HE MARRIED AND LIVED WITH IS WIFE PHEOBE AND 10 CHILDREN UNTIL HIS DEATH AGE 52 IN 1890.

THE CENSUS FOR 1851 AND 1861 LIST FIVE SIBLINGS OF JAMES AND I AM WONDERING IF ANY OF THEIR DECENDANTS MAY STILL LIVE IN THE AREA AND COULD GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION ON THIS FAMILY

THESE SIBBLINGS WERE WILLIAM HUNTER C.1835
