Hi lovelaj

Netherwood cottage is in or near the town of  Dumfries according to the 1871 census

William died there on 17th April  1871 of pneumonia, aged 56.

I don't see Jane either in the deaths or on the 1881 at the moment. Do you know where the rest of the family were in 1881?  Found - see below
