Can somebody sort out this little dilema for me. On the 1871 Census my
3xGreat Grandfather James Stuart (var) listed his place of birth as shown below :-

Census: 1871 Household of James STUART
Name Relation Status Age Birthplace
Occupation
James STUART Head Mar 72 Harpois Town, Scotland
Ag Lab Flour Milling
Catherine STUART Wife Mar 62 Reddon,
Sprouston, Roxburghshire
Margaret STUART Daur S 28 Lavernock,
Lowick, Northum/ld, Eng Genereal Servant
Catherine STUART Daur S 26 Barmoor
RedHouse, Lowick, Northumb/ld, Eng General Servant
Elizabeth STUART Daur S 21 Barmoor RedHouse,
Lowick, Northumb/ld, Eng General Servant
Joseph STUART Grand Son S 7 ChesterHill,

Does anyone know where HARPOIS TOWN may be ??? I am certain that this is
not the correct spelling as was the way in 1871 Britain.


In addition if someone could look up the Marriages at Sprouston for James
STEWART (var) and Catherine MIDDLEMOST I would be most Grateful.
