There is a possible for Janet on the 1861 but I'm not sure why she would be there:

Dykehead, Slamannan, Stirling
RD 489 ED 4 Page 2

Janet Star or Stor, 34, Dress maker, b. Torphichen, Linlithgowshire

Added - they also seem to be living apart on the 1871.

Thankyou Gadget

I did know that Janet left William with the children from a great Aunt, I needed to know his birth place, thanks again for the help.

Regards Steady

The Lindsay family mentioned above is my family.  My Robert Lindsay was married to Agnes Storrie and had 2 daughters with her.  She died at a young age.  He later married Janet McPhail.

If anyone is working on this family, I'd appreciate knowing about it!  I have a lot to share with anyone descended from this line!
Lindsay, McPhail, Stobie, Forrester, Angus, Storrie/Storie, and more.

Hi there,

I don't know if it's of any interest but on a download relating to a family member of mine from Torphichen I noted that, in 1764, John Storie and Margaret Hill had a child baptized named Margaret.

Happy to pass on the details if you want.

Hi, I appreciate this is a very old post but I was wondering if you were still active on this thread please? I’m wondering if we have the same Janet Hay within our family 😊
