There is a birth place or county for Janet in the 1861 but hard to make out but certainly not Caithness.
Alexander Falconer, father shows in the 1871 census and at 80, no occupation is given.
Given that the second born daughter to David and Janet was a Catherine, looking at the 1841 census in Scotland, there is an Alexander and Catherine Falconer showing as born outside of the country living in Thurso, where Janet and David married.
Alex Falconer 48, teacher of musert (music?)
Cathrine Falconer 48
Alex Falconer 14
Will Falconer 12
Ann Falconer 6
Address: Cowgate, Thurso
I think going by the children, that this is this couple's marriage:
ALEXANDER FALCONER Marriages: Spouse: KATHARINE SMITH
Marriage: 11 JAN 1816 Forres, Moray, Scotland
Now I've traced David and Janet through the censuses from 1851 in England. Apart from 1861 where birth places are given, the rest all show Scotland.
Did David die between 1881-1891? I can see an entry for a Janet Horn, 68, widow, lodging in Grainsby with a birth place of FORRES, Scotland which I thought might connect with the Alexander Falconer and K/Catherine Smith above.
Regards.
