Thanks all very much for your help, especially finding the 1871 census. I think Jane must have been more or less brought up by her grandmother.  Her mother died young, possibly in childbirth

William Sandison and Margaret Cobban are the parents of Elspet but I have not done any research on that side of the family yet.

Thanks again

Betty
