1861 census Shotts Lanarks WATSON

[1000xlch]

Hi

Looking for a Janet Watson born 1835 but do not know where (probably Lanarkshire).  She married in 1862 in Dykehead, Shotts, Lanarkshire to a Samuel Mckechnie (Ag Lab).  Her parents are William WATSON (coalminer)  and Margaret ROSS.  Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

John Rowley

Hi John,  I think I've found Janet's parents in 1861 index.
According to LDS site the are some of the children of William and Margaret.

   15. Walter Watson  - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 1835 Shotts, Lanark, Scotland
   16. William Watson - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 1837 Shotts, Lanark, Scotland
   17. James Watson - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 1843 Shotts, Lanark, Scotland
   18. JANET WATSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 05 DEC 1833 Shotts, Lanark, Scotland
   19. MARGARET WATSON - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 30 OCT 1831 Shotts, Lanark, Scotland

1861 names index. Census taken SHOTTS

William Watson age 55 born Crawford LKS
Margaret age 63 born Muirkirk, Ayrshire
Walter age 25 born Shotts
William age 23 born Shotts
James age 18 born Shotts
James Braidwood age 3 born Shotts
John Ross age 55 born Carnwath, LKS  (I think this is Margaret's brother)   see below

Also on the IGI site there's a christening for a Margaret Ross in Muirkirk.
Margaret Ross......ch. 13th aug 1798 Muirkirk
parents........Philip Ross and Jean Brown.
If you check for children of Philip and Jean you will also get a 'male' Ross born Carnwath 1805 whiich fits the John Ross in the census.

As for Janet Watson I think this is her, but she's not with family

Census taken Shotts

Janet Watson age 24 born Shotts

Have fun checking it out

There is also a Janet Watson age 15 born Shotts but this is a completely different family

however there is another

Janet Watson Age 18 born Carnwath par/ward 632 Dist 6 Pge 5 No. 8

This one appears to be with a family called Somerville

Hi John

I presume your Samuel and Sarah McKechnie were at South Hirst Farm, Shotts Lanarkshire in 1881.  If so I may be able to give you some more (Morvern) info.  Can you please contact me off List.
