Title: Mary Jane Manson - Completed
Post by: themonkeymonkey on Tuesday 06 February 18 21:59 GMT (UK)

Mary Jane Manson born 1878 in Peterhead to Alexander Manson and Jane Alexander Youngson.  The family seemed to moved between Lerwick and Peterhead but seemed to have moved to Lower Lochside 1899 - 1900 and then back to Peterhead around 1919.  I can find no trace at all of Mary after her birth, does anyone have any thoughts or have her in their family tree?  Many thanks.

Could Mary Jane's death have been registered under Youngson ?

I see her parents were married in 1876  :-\
