| Census | 1871 | John Summers appeared on the Scotland census of 1871. John was found living in Crimond, Scotland. He was 66 years old. He marital status is "married", though no wife is living in the household. Also living in the house are Joseph (son, age 21), Isabella (daughter, age 15, born in Rathen), Alexander (son, age 10, born in Cruden), James (son, age 6, born in Crimond) and Jane Youngson (servant, age 16, born in Peterhead). I believe this to be Jane Alexander Youngson, John Summers' granddaughter, as she is also the same age and also born in Peterhead. John is a fisherman, born in Rathen. Joseph is a fisherman, born in Crimond. Alexander is a scholar. Jane Youngson is a domestic servant. Next door to the Summers household is a family by the name of Buchan (William, age 28; wife Isabella, age 23; Isabella, daughter, age 2; and George, son, age 8 mo.) These may be relatives of supposed wife of John Summers (i.e., Mary Buchan).3 |
