My advice would also be to go to Scotland’s People. After 1855 all marriages and births were supposed to be registered. You could get his birth registration, and also check some of the census

Hi,
Had a look for you, to me it looks most likely John McLeod born 1853/4 at Dyke is the son of John McLeod aged 22 on the 1851 Census and who was working with his brother James 20 at Feddan farm

Re: understanding ages in 1841 census
The 1841 census was taken on 7 June, so if he really was aged 39 on census day, he would have been born between 8 June 1801 and 7 June 1802.If he was correctly shown as 35 he would have been born

Re: understanding ages in 1841 census
I disagree....ages were supposed to be rounded to the nearest 5.....BUT...it wasn't consistently done. IF you are looking at a census for 1841 in Scotland it is best to plus or minus 5 years. Then

Re: understanding ages in 1841 census
No he wouldn’t be shown as 39 but as 35.
Ages up to 15 were shown as the exact age. Ages over 15 were rounded down to the nearest 5 years, hence 39 shown as 35.

Thank you Ken. He was actually listed as 35. Sorry for that so it should hold true here then. Trying to narrow his parents down. I think he was Ayrshire and was married there in Kilwinning but most

Re: understanding ages in 1841 census
If he was 39, he “should” have been shown as 35. But application was very inconsistent.
If it shows 39, then it is highly probable that in the Spring of 1841 he claimed to be 39, and so born in
