On the 1841 census in England, my ancestors have put their place of birth as Lothian and they were about 40 at the time. What part of Scotland would Lothian have been in around 1800?
Thanks

Lothian (Lowden in Scots, Lodainn in Gaelic) forms a traditional region of Scotland, lying between the southern shore of the Firth of Forth and the Lammermuir Hills.

Lothian is the area including and around Edinburgh. Now referred to as Mid, East and West Lothian

It would probably have been Edinburgh - west Lothian goes in one direction (towards Glasgow) with East Lothian out towards the coast. Around 1800 most of the big towns in the modern day Lothians wouldn't have amounted to much, so Edinburgh being in midLothian is probably your best bet.

The area to the south of the Firth of Forth.
They were probably not from Edinburgh, otherwise they would have said Edinburgh.
