cheers  that looks promising.  Unfortunately none of her dates match - she would have been 61 in 1851 and 51 in 1841. 

The only definite record I have of her is the 1871 Census when she's living with her daughter & family.  That records her age as 70 when it should have been 81   Her death certificate below shows her correct age.

I have been trying to track Euphemia (and possibly husband James) for years.  I had hoped to find them both on the 1841 but no luck so far   I also have been unable to find any other children.  I have quite a lot of info on son Thomas and daur. Elspeth but nothing on John
