Did your Ancestors

live in Monimail?

Index of the Parish of Monimail, Fife (448)
Censuses 1841 - 1901.

Compiled by David Castle-Smith.
This is a complete listing of all the people listed in the Censuses
which cover the Parish of Monimail, Fife (448) during the years 1841
to 1901. The parish is situated in East Fife directly west of the
market town of Cupar. It is a rural area with the main occupations
based on the agrarian economy.

This is only a representative sample of the people who lived in this
area between the years stated, as captured once every ten years and
recorded in the Census.

In certain circumstances it has been possible to follow individual
people through their life by means of the census entries. This is very
rare since the rural occupational lifestyle tended to be migratory.

I hope that this index will be able to help amateur family historians
find any person or particular surname they are interested in.

I have always thought of this parish as on the small side but it has
provided almost 5,000 individuals and over 500 different surnames.

I am sure that any person using this index has previously had
problems with names and ages and a variety of other things with their
ancestors. I have interpreted the Census records as best I can. I
apologise now for any unintentional mistakes which may hinder any
research in the future, some of the handwriting of the enumerators
leaves a lot to be desired.
Instructions for use
Examination of the index is very simple provided you start with good
information.
1. Check index by surname, then by the christian name you have,
this will then provide you with a list of people or one.
2. These entries will then tell you in which census they are present,
the position of the entry in enumeration district.
3. An approximate date of birth is also listed but this can often prove
unreliable.

Example.
Aitken, 1. b. 1841C page 48
Alexander 1821
three entries 2. b. 1841C Page 50
1840 1851C 37B

3. b. 1891C 03C
1889

This information tells us
(1) Alexander Aitken b. 1821 is present in the 1841 census in an
entry on page 48.
(2) There is another Alexander Aitken b. 1840 present in both 1841
census on page 50 and in the 1851 census in an entry numbered 37
nd
in the 2 enumeration division (37B).
(3) A third Alexander Aitken b.1889 is present in the 1891 census in
rd
an entry numbered 3 in the 3 enumeration division (03C).

Some difficulties to look out for
Surnames
ex. Heih, Hieh, Heir, appear wrong this could either be my
misinterpretation or the enumerator’s attempt at what he thought the
person's surname was or what the person thought his surname was.
Surnames such as ex. McKay are often listed as Mackay, remember
to check for possible alternative spellings.
Ages - Wrong age on census, sometimes older unmarried women
reducing their age, whilst married women add years on. If there are
two or more census entries for a particular person check them all.
A quote from James Brodie, Minister of the Parish in 1841 Census
" Particulars required in said schedule have been entered correctly
with
the exception of the ages many of which are LUDICROUSLY
ERRONEOUS."
