Hello:
My great great grandfather, James Gladston had at least four children including Alexander Gladston born 1825 (my great-grandfather) and Jane Gladston, born 1828. Jane had some trouble keeping her underwear on and gave birth to at least five children with no apparent father. One of the children was another Jane Gladston, born 1856; she married John Ainslie on October 2, 1876 in the Berwick registry office.
They had at least five children according to the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses. These were Jane, born 1880, James, born 1882, Elizth Ann, born 1885, John born 1887 and Alexander born 1889. From the censuses they lived at 20 West St. in 1881, 28 Main St. in 1891 and 52 Middle St in 1901. All these houses were in Spittal.
The census data all came from ancestry.co.uk. I have a picture of the Jane who was born in 1880. She is about 30 in the photograph. If you wish I can e-mail this picture on to you.
