hi Beth 

if jane is not with the family on the 1861 census then i suspect she may have
died 

SP index has -

jane watt death 1860 marnoch banff , born 1859 +/- 1 year

unless you have other evidence of her living ?

Hi Ev

thanks for responding.
She went on to have an illegitimate daughter Ann Eliza Henderson Watt with Duff Henderson.. I dont think they married as he went on to marry a Barbara Shearer. Ann was born in 1878


thanks

Wondering how much further you've taken Jane's ancestry. I have an Elspet Kelman in my tree. Maiden name Allan with a previous marriage to John Adamson. My ancestor was their daughter Margaret.

[Forfarian]

Hence, if Elspet Kelman's maiden name was Allan, she is clearly not the one married to Robert Watt, because that one's maiden name was Kelman.

Was your ancestor Margaret's surname Kelman or Adamson, and where and when was she born?

[Hence]

Margaret Adamson was born Mar 14 1831 in Keith, Banffshire.
The only child of John Adamson & Elspet Allan.

Margaret married William Young around 1850 and they had a son.
Margaret's second husband was John McLeod also of Keith and they had 7 children.
