Jim,

Ages on census records are not always exact. Also, spelling variations
could come into play. I.e. MILL/MILLS/MILLES and MILLER/MILLAR, some listed
below:

I would suggest trying www.familysearch.org, and looking around Paisley,
Renfrew. A quick check of the LDS site popped up these possibles, plus a
lot more. Then ordering the OPR records from a local LDS Family History
Center.

> Hi Folks.
> My 5x Great Grand Parents,John Mills and Mary Miller Arthur were born in
Scotland. John is listed in the 1851 Quebec census as being 61 yrs old and
Mary is 54. So, it would seem they were born in 1790 and 1797.They are both
listed as being Presbyterian and members of the Church of Scotland. After
exhausting my credit card at Scots Origins with no luck, I used a Scottish
volunteer researcher and she could not find them on the OPR records.So, does
that mean that they could not afford to pay the Church of Scotland to record
their births and marriage? Does that mean there are no records of them? Does
that mean they were dropped in Edinburgh by aliens? Does that mean that my
researcher was drunk when doing the search? Any ideas will be much
appreciated. Thanks, Jim
