Hello Everyone
There was a message looking for information on Ryland, Alvah. While I
cannot provide much information, I do have several census entries for the
place. They are:
Alvah, Banff April 8 1861
Book 3 Page 1
Ryland James Robertson Head M 55 Farmer of 160 ac. Emp. 16 labourers
Glasgow
Margaret Robertson Wife M 50 Farmer's wife Drumblade, Aberdeen
James Robertson Son 24
John Robertson Son 22
Margaret Robertson Daur 20
Isabella Robertson Daur 18
Ann Robertson Daur 15
William Robertson Son 13
Alexander Robertson Son 9
John Robertson G'son 2

Alvah, Banff April 3, 1871
Ryland James Robertson 67
John Robertson Son U 32
William Robertson Son U 24
Ann Robertson Daur U 26
John Robertson G'son 12 Alvah, Banff

While I realize this is a different family, this should give the questioner
an idea of the size and extent of the farm.
Hope this information helps.
