Hi Shonnag,

From a personal point of view, I would want to look into that marriage & check the original for 2 reasons...

To find out if by chance an occ. is listed i.e. a possible mention of 'Army' & the coincidental fact that Janet's mother was named Catherine albeit with a different surname but if the mother died young it is possible Janet wasn't sure of her mother's maiden name as she would only be referred to in conversation by her forename

Most census I see for Jessie have Dublin on it for where born.

A recap of Janet's given PoB...

1841 - Outside census County (1841 never gave specifics of where outside)
1851 - Ireland
1861 - Dublin, Ireland
1871 - Gibralter (sic)

I haven't seen any of the originals.

Shonnag,

I should have been more specific  where I have '1841 never gave specifics of where outside' as that was the norm for anyone recorded in 1841 i.e. not only in relation to Janet.
