Hi Tom:

I checked on Scotlands People and see the record for William, as you have indicated.

I will do further searching later.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

Good hunting!

Tom

Hi Tom:

Hunting was not productive!

I purchased credits at Scotlands People and looked at marriage records for William Anderson and Janet Stewart. Same information that I already have.

I can not see a death record for either William or Janet, that apply.

Death records for Janet's parents are both shown - I did not pay to see details.

I could not find any census records for Janet and do not know why.
From previous sources I have census records 1851 to 1891 for Janet who I am "fairly certain" is my Janet - remember I wanted to find an address on Main Street Doune to see if that helps.

Any idea why William and Janet are AWOL?

Also spent some time on FreeCEN and did not find any thing applicable.

This conversation is open to any other member who wishes to comment.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,

I think that the following link is the 1851 entry, Janet is the head of the family, I suspect that William died prior to his son's birth.  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01iz4/ . She is a grocer and is in Main Street.

I think the 1861 she is down as Ann(maybe sounded like "Jan" as there were 2 Janets in the house),
http://www.rootschat.com/links/01iz5/. Even RootsChat has suggested this Janet.

Will go and search for some more.

Hi Dave,

Got a few ideas about 1871, but not definite. For 1881, I fancy the following link,

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01iz6/

Janet's children have flown the nest so she now takes in lodgers.

When I first found the census record on Ancestry, I could view the original record, but now that option is not available to me.

I will check Scotland's People although I currently do not have credits.

Hi Dave,

There is no other site than SP to view their original documents unless someone had uploaded it to 'Fancestry'?

Hi Annie:

I did not know SP has different data than other sites.
I have used this site in the past but currently do not have credits - I will consider.

Dave

Hi Dave,

No.... , it's the other sites which have different data as SP hold the originals.

I may have missed any mention of a daughter Janet to Janet & William who is listed on 1851?

Hi Annie and Tom:

I have the 1851 census info as you have sent to me Annie - a transcript, not an original.
My records were first obtained from FamilySearch LDS Site and second from Ancestry Site, dating back a few years.

Children of William Anderson and Janet Stewart:

Janet b. 11 July 1841.
William b. 24 March 1846 - my great grand father.
Ann b. 29 October 1839, registered as being with her grand parents at the 1851 census.
Those grand parents are Janet's parents - John Stewart and Ann Innes , farmers near Dunblane.


As mentioned to Tom, I can not find any census records on SP - I will try again later.
Tom, your links are to Ancestry.uk and my subscription is with Ancestry.ca, so I could not make the quick connection, unless I am missing some way to do this. I am older than you Tom and sometimes not so quick on computers!

Yes, the 1861 census has Ann and Janet interchanged.
I suggested this correction to Ancestry.ca and I believe it is recorded there.

From my copies of the census - as you noted Tom, the 1871 census shows Janet with boarders.
It also shows a grand child Ann Gray, age 3, which fits this family.
The 1881 census shows Janet again with boarders.
The 1891 census shows Janet, still on Main Street and Supported by Family.

In another 1881 census, Ann Gow, Janet's sister, is shown as having a butcher shop on Main Street, Doune and I would hazard a guess it may be the same address as other census' for Janet - something I am trying to find out.

Thanks,
Dave
PS - is this appropriate to reply to both of you in same post?
Also, I received notification on my e-mail for the post by Annie, but no notification for yours Tom - do I need to set some parameters on my profile?

Hi Dave,

I think you may have set up your personal settings differently to mine, to check, follow my instructions please.
Go to PROFILE on the top bar.
Select 'Modify Profile' in blue above your name on the left.
Select 'Email notifications' from the pull down menu.
I have the first two ticked ie 'receive forum newsletters' and 'turn email notification on'.
For the next two, from the pull down options, I have selected 'instantly' and 'replies and moderation'
And then click on 'Save settings' on the right just below these four selections.
I think you may have set up as 'instantly but only for the first reply'

Tom

PS I don't mind being addressed at same time as others.
