    1851 Census
    Residence: Milne's Close

    William Burns, joiner journeyman, aged 55 born Alva, Stirlingshire ( Alva is actually in neighbouring Clackmannanshire)
    Margaret Burns, aged 53, wife, born Liberton, Midlothian
    William Burns, son aged 22, unmarried, Free Church Divinity Student, born Edinburgh
    Christina Burns, daughter, unmarried, aged 18, milliner, born Edinburgh
    Robert Burns, son, unmarried, aged 17, Free Church Literary Student, born Edinburgh
    Margaret Burns, daughter, unmarried, aged 11, scholar, born Edinburgh

    William Burn was the son of James Burn above. His first marriage was to Janet Huton and they had 6 children. We stem from his second marriage to Margaret Morrison. William was also a weaver and his death certificate states that he died of a 'bloody flux'. I am yet to trace the family ofMargaret Morison , but there appears to be many Morison's in Alva at the time. Margaret's father may have been George Morison (senior) as he was a witness at William's death.

    William married Margaret Ritchie on 30 Apr 1822 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Margaret (daughter of Alexander Ritchie and Isabel Duncan) was born on 5 Feb 1797 in Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland; died on 4 May 1874 in Canongate, Edinburgh, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
