Great job, Mike! You've made quite a significant breakthrough. Now I'll go back to all those saved SP searches and match everything. Thanks!

Thanks Allan,
I had the same idea to darken the image when I found the note in the 90s - it is hard to read in its original form, but I thought people might enjoy seeing the original.

Paul, How does this grab you? The Jean (10) living with Duncan in the 1851 Census was a neice born in Glasgow. A Jean was born to Gilbert McAulay & Jean McDermid in Glasgow on 1/4/1840. Gilbert (a wright) & Jean were married in Glasgow on 7/9/1832 by the Gaelic Minister of the Gorbals (suggesting, to me, that they came from the Islands). In the 1841 Census there is a family Gilbert a 40 year old wright, Jean at 30, Elizabeth 3 & Jean 1 living in Brownfields Parish. Elizabeth was born in Glasgow on 11/5/1836. As yet, cannot find the family in the 1851 Census. In the 1851 Census I have an Angus McAulay, with a 13 year old neice Elizabeth, born in Glasgow, living with him. So could these two neices be the children of Gilbert & Jean, each living with one of their Father's brothers???? I have Angus being born at Laggan, Islay around 1799 (based on age at death on 2/4/1888), although he was married in Kilchoman and his children were born in both Kilchoman & Portnahaven. Angus' known children were Gilbert, John, Duncan, Donald & Alexander. Angus' parents were John McAulay & Ann Shaw.What do you think?? Regards Mike

Some years ago, I found this note in a family Bible. It was written in pencil on a small piece of lined paper by my great-grandmother Elizabeth (Lizzie Smiley) MacAulay, wife of Angus MacAulay, I suppose, for her grandchildren. It gives the names, ages and birthdays for her children, except for Rachel her only daughter who died in her late teens:
