Lewis Towers and Jean Watson did they go to Canada with their family ?
« on: Saturday 18 February 17 13:52 GMT (UK) »

Lewis Towers and Jean Watson were married in Falkirk Scotland in 1818 .
I have found them in census until 1851  in Falkirk with their family after this there is no trace.

On family search I found the marriage of  their daughter Agnes  and the death of their
son William both in Canada

Did Lewis and Jean go to Canada with their family I can find no deaths for them in Scotland.

Anc tree says Lewis passed away 1851 Scotland but no source - Jean 1864 - Hibbert, Perth South, Ontario Canada.

Could Jean be Jane  ???

This looks to be the headstone inscription. Jane wife of Lewis Towers - 16 November 1864
