  Hello Spike. I am sorry for being so long in replying to your messages, they have ben very helpful, I have gone back to 1756,my gr/gr/gr/grandfather,John Douglas a printer,then his son James 1797 my gr/gr/grandfather a printer, his son another James 1828 printer my gr/grandfather. his son another James printer my grandfather. So with the information you have provided, I see I am going to have a busy time.
  Thank you for being so helpfull. I have access to the 1881 Census from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, but I think I will purchase the later issue.
  Thanks again.
  Regards. Happy Bert.
