1871 Scottish census: 

In 1871 Eliza Jane Fisher (soon to be wife of Frederick Gardiner) is a power loom weaver in Dundee.  Sound familiar.  Margaret Gardiner worked in the linen mills as well. 

The Fisher family lived at 12 Rose Lane, Dundee.  This is a great example of propinquity or living near each other generates relationships. In 1871 James Gardiner was living at 29 Rosebank Road, Dundee, which is a car repair place today called DRC Autobody Repairs.   Kent


Hi, the 1871 census Jane Kidney, mother to Eliza Fisher (Gardiner) is taking care of her five children on wages as a sack sewer in Dundee.  Jane's husband Charles is mentioned in the 1861 census as a laborer but has gone missing and is not mentioned hereafter. A search of the 10 intervening years has been made for his death but it has not been located.  Their son Charles Jr dies in 1863 as well.  During the next 10 years Isabella will die and is not mentioned after this census.  In this census Eliza is listed as a power loom weaver. These were difficult times.  Kent

How far apart did James Gardiner's son Frederick and Eliza Fisher his intended live?  Frederick lived on Rosebank Road and Eliza on Rose Lane.  The same block.  A recipe for love. Kent

Hi, the 1881 Scotland census has Eliza Gardiner (wife to Frederick) living with her mother and son Frederick Jr. at 12 Rose Lane. Google thinks that is the same as Rosebank Road.  In 1871 Dundee James Gardiner is living at 29 Rosebank Road.  This is called propinquity or living near each other generates relationships.  Kent

Hi, the 1891 Canadian census has Frederick, 39 (brother to Robert) and Eliza Gardiner, 37 listed as a confectioner in Ontario.  He is living with his children, mother in law and  and his wife's sister. His mother in law is from Ireland and her religion is Methodist. His religion is hard to read.  Ancestry has it as seueler which actually may be secular. Some of his children's names sound like Robert's children: Frederick, Vollett and Alfred.  Kent
