[Shand-Aberdeenshire]

Thank you both for taking time to reply!

This is what I have..

I have a card. I assume it was for the funeral service. On it is lists his deathdate as 20 Jan 1892. It lists that she was 83 years, 7 months and 16 days old.
Puts her dob at 4 Jun 1808.


I have a marriage cert for 1830 in Montreal, Qubec Janet Gray married Joseph Shand.

I have an 1861 Canada Census in Missisquoi, Quebec with Jspe Shand listed.
I have an 1871 Canada Census in Missisquoi, Quebec with Mrs. Joseph Shand listed. Widow
I have an 1881 Canada Census in Missisquoi, Quebec with Jessie Shand listed. Widow
I have an 1891 Canada Census in Missisquoi, Quebec with Jessie Shand listed.Widow
The same person. Same family members. All say from Scotland.

I have a few other marriage and deth certs with her name Jessie or Janet Shand listed her as from Scotland.

I went on SP.gov and found a Janet Shand born 4 Jun !808 and baptized 19 Jun 1808 in/at Parish: EDINBURGH - ST JAMES PLACE RELIEF and County/city: EDINBURGH CITY. The parents are listed as Gavin Shand and Ann Hay. They had another daughter named Janet Gray b 5 Dec 1802. Can't find a death cert so don't know if she died young and they named their next daughter Janet.

I have nothing on her for sure from 1808-1830. I'm not sure if what I have through SP.gov is enough. I have checked wikitree, google, Ancestry... for information on the family. Checked for trees. The Sp.gov is the only information I have that fits that I've found in the last two years.

A few other children born to Joseph Shand and Jessie Gray  - Isabella Bruce Shand (1836) (someone made an alteration of the name on ancestry back in October 2010) and John Baird Shand. (1837)
Margaret Watson Shand  (1841) George Gavin Shand (1847)

A few anc tree's popping up now - but no sources for parents of Janet Gray.

Isabel Bruce Shand. I think, comes from Joseph Shand's mother Isabel Bruce married to William Shand.

A few other children born to Joseph Shand and Jessie Gray  - Isabella Bruce Shand (1836) (someone made an alteration of the name on ancestry back in October 2010) and John Baird Shand. (1837)
Margaret Watson Shand  (1841) George Gavin Shand (1847)

Thanks for posting what you already have, saves wasting time looking thru the same records.

Interesting middle names can usual give a clue

Have you contacted Saint Thomas Anglican Church Cemetery  where other Shand members may be buried - to see if they have further information.

Have you trawled thru the Montreal Gazette from 20 January 1892 to see if there was an obituary for Jessie ?

Indeed Sandra, agree all known info. (within reason)  helps a lot & yes, middle names are a great bonus.

Doing well on this!
