FARQUHARSON JANE BISSET

[MonicaL]

You found Alfred in the censuses again, Rosie;) Wonder what he did in the interim years after 1871?

So all the three children of William Bisset and Jane Farquharson survived to adulthood: Jane Murray Bisset, Joan Margaret Farquharson Bisset and Alfred Henry Bisset.

Forfarian, there will be no marriage for Louisa S C Farquharson unfortunately. Looks like she died as a baby in 1867.

Yes Monica  I wonder where he is in 1881,1891 came across a few Jane M Farquharson's in the census forms in England but can't be sure if this is the same Jane

there will be no marriage for Louisa S C Farquharson

Spotted that and corrected my post soon after posting it - you were evidently too quick for me 

Father's name could still be on death certificate.

Must stop obsessing about this family 

Think I have now found some further census entries for at least Jane b. 1855.

Added: Father's name may be on little Louisa's death reg., although with Farquharson for name, hard to say without looking isn't it...

I think this is also Joan Margaret Bisset's 1901 Canadian Census entry, following her marriage in 1896 (from earlier, https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KSZ3-XVH). Birth entries show mother as Joan/Margaret Bisset. Haven't been able to find a shipping manifest for her to confirm migration year.

1901 https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KHLX-ZVG ...ok for anyone to loose a few years along the way 

No further children showing in 1911. Joan's age still light and now showing as born in England  ....but we know better with her marriage reg confirming her details together with children's birth regs.

Question for  GR2 please. The date you posted for the death of the Minister's daughter Jane was that a typo? If not, I wonder, who is the little girl showing on the 61 census. (I'm obsessing about minster's at the moment  - a long tale).

Old William not without 'blame' here - 1864 Jane was found guilty of running a shabeen at upperkirkgate and was threatened with a fine or jail - she paid the £7 fine.  It was the second offence at this house, the first was against her husband William Bisset. Potential then for William to have been a 'housekeeper' in 71.

If Jane Haldane Skene died in 1849, she could well have been the only daughter at the time of her death. The Jane in the 1861 census was only 8, so born 1852/3, after her elder sister's death (and named after her)

Aberdeen Journal, 4-7-1849:

At 15, Skene Row, on 29th ult., in the prime of youth, after
a severe and protracted illness, which she bore with christian
patience and resignation, Jane Haldane Skene, only daughter

Aberdeen. - Friends at a distance will please accept this in-
