Mary Keightley 1841 "Williamsfield" KP Fleming.
« on: Sunday 26 July 15 18:35 BST (UK) »
Jean Johnston   64
Mary Keightley   28
Jane Keightley   10

Mary's mother was Jane Johnston before she married so is Jean OK?
Jane Keightley is probably the daughter of David Keightley (Mary's brother) & Sarah Hunter.
If I could David & Sarah  in Half Morton or KP Fleming without a Jane then that would be a big step.

Any help to get a link to David & Sarah appreciated thanks

David and Sarah are in Chapelknowe, Halfmorton parish at the 1841 census, Bramhallbill. They have 5 children, and are:

David, 35, a cotton HLW
Sarah, 35
George, 12, a cotton HLW
Jannet, 11
Jean, 9
James, 8
Helen, 4

If you look at all the Keightleys in Dumfriesshire at the 1841 census, you'll see that Jane, aged 10, is at Williamsfield with:

Jean Johnston, 65
Mary, 28

Interestingly, there is also Elizabeth Kightley, aged 2, with a family called David and Jean Johnston who are living at Sarkside in Kirkpatrick Fleming. Elizabeth's last name is so similar to Keightley that you may find a connection.

I've seen the image and it's a transcription error - definitely Keightley. It's Sarah who should have been worn out after 5 kids in eight years! May be worth tracking the family through the censuses.

Sarah's maiden name was Hunter. She died at Dumfries in 1874 aged 73.

The marriage cert states that David was a weaver. This tallies with his occupation at the time of the 1841 census where he's shown as a cotton HLW (hand-loom weaver). This may have been a self-employed job done at home as I can't think of any nearby cotton mills.

Sarah's maiden name on the cert is definitely Hunter, though it's not easy to decipher. This is confirmed on her death cert.

I think there really is only one David Keightley, Bramhallbill. I don't know your sources for the two dates but Ancestry says that David Keatly was born to George Keatly and Jean Johnston and baptised at Kirkpatrick Fleming on 16 Sep 1805, which suggests that the earlier date (14 Aug 1805) is the date when he was born.

I have found so often that the names 'Jean' and 'Jane' are used interchangeably by different clerks to mean the same person. And the spelling of Johnston is often inconsistent too - with and without a 't' or an 'e'. Confusing, I know, but then one of the surnames in my ancestry is spelt eight different ways! Our ancestors had absolutely no thought for us family historians following behind  :D
