Trying to look for Elizabeth's relatives, parents siblings etc... She was born 1862 in Carlisle. She married Martin Jardine, he was born in 1869 Middlebie Dumfriesshire.
-
They appear to have married in Scotland - 1890 in Hawick
You can download a copy of their marriage cert which will give you both sets of parents names plus mothers maiden name
www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Same info is available on her death cert from the same website
-
I am unsure as I can't find the marriage details.
-
1890 in Hawick - see my reply above which I edited before your reply
SP is a pay per view site so you will have to register and buy credits to download the cert. I used the free index and found there was only one Martin Jardine marriage and spouse was Elizabeth Johnstone
-
That's brilliant, thank you for your help.

The English 1871 has an Elizabeth Johnstone b Carlisle 1864 - parents Alexander & Elizabeth and another b 1866 parents John & Grace. If you find either of those names on her 1890 marriage cert the 1871 is free to search here.
The Scottish 1901 shows her aged 39

In 1891 - Martin Jardine is shown as a visitor at his parents house. Elizabeth is not with him and I can't find her on either the Scottish or English 1891 under Johnston(e) or Jardine at the moment

In 1861 they are in Dumfries with sons James & John but also a 9mth old daughter Mary E b Gretna. As she does not appear on the 1871 she may have died between censuses
Interestingly - they have a boarder James Jardine aged 24 b Hoddom?? Dumfries

Thank you very much for your help.

2 things
Did you get her Carlisle birthplace from the 1911 entry?
Would still recommend downloading a copy of the 1890 marriage cert just to be absolutely certain of her parentage
-
I got her being born Carlisle from my mother in law. It’s her grandmother.
