• Notes

  The 1841 census does not record relationships. I am supposing that Jean was the child of her first marriage and the other children being from her second marriage She was a widow aged as 70 in the Old Parish Register for St Cuthberts Parish, Edinburgh, at the time of her death. She had been residing with her son-in-law and his family at Leith Dry Dock when she died there
