Janet lawful daughter of Alexander Manson and Bell Manson, (looks like Mey), born 26 June baptised 9 July 1821.
Can't find anything after the birth, can anyone help or send me in the right direction please?
She is not the Janet Manson death 1905 Thurso, 1904 Lerwick, 1901 Bressay, 1896 Wick, 1896 Carluke, 1886 Renfrew or 1889 Nairn. Thanks.

Can't find anything after the birth,
Do you have any evidence she survived infancy?
-
None at all I can't find her in any census, I looked for deaths around her birth but could find nothing, thanks.
-
Where was she born in Caithness?
May be a red herring but?
Alexander Manson Finlayson christened 17 Jul 1845 Bower
(birth 2 June 1845)
Parents Peter Finlayson and Janet Manson
They married 3 February 1842 Bower, Caithness
Both pm Fa,ilysearch.Org
The Marriage is on FreeREG also, witnesses Donald Finlayson and Donald Manson
There is also another Marriage same Church 11 Feb 1842, Rose BREMNER to Hanet MANSOn
Alexr Manson and William Manson witnesses
1851 Janet Finlayson is born c 1818 Bower so maybe not yours.
1851 Rose/Janet are under BRUNNER, Janet born c 1822 Bown (as tramscribed)
1861 c 1818 , 1871 c 1820 Bower as Jannet Bremner
As I said just possibles if she was born Bower.

Janet was born in Canisbay. Her parents are also elusive I can't find them in census either but can find brother and sisters in censuses. Will look into marriages instead of deaths for Janet and see if I can find her there, thanks for your help.
