1871 Census please

Yes Isabella is correct. Maybe a sister or half-sister.

Yes Isabella is correct. Maybe a sister or half-sister.

Or a sister in law

I think this might be a possible record on the 1871 Census transcribed as Jeannie Gitman
On Ancestry 
Address 100.Orchard Street Partick Govan Lanarkshire
Robt Kennedy born Ireland 38 labourer
Margaret Kennedy born Ireland 32 wife
Son's George and Robert Kennedy
Jeannie Gitman born about 1857 Partick age 14 years domestic servant

If you check on Scotland's People you will find her as Jeanie Gilmour age 14 in Partick Govan ref number 643/3/9/20 matches with the Kennedy family

I also think this is a possibility on the 1861 census
Address 2,Kelvin Street Partick Govan Lanarkshire
William Gilmour age 37 born Paisley about 1824 occupation Carter
Mary Gilmour age 28 born Glasgow
William Gilmour age 14 born Glasgow ( mason labourer )
James Gilmour age 16 born Glasgow ( mason )
Jane Gilmour age 5 born Glasgow

Would say this is the same family

1871 Census address 6,Kelvin Street Partick Govan
Willm Gilmour age 46 ( carter)
Jane Gilmour age 43 sister
Isabella 10 born Partick
Lilley Gilmour age 4 born Partick

I think you should maybe check this death for William Gilmour 1874 Partick.Govan age 53
To see what names are given for his wives  ..How sure are you on the mothers maiden name for Jane Gilmour .

I found a marriage for William Gilmour to a Mary Love 1861 Partick which also be worth viewing ..There was a daughter Isabella Park Gilmour born 1861 mothers maiden name
Love also another daughter Lilias love Gilmour born 1867 Partick she is in a inmate in a house of refuge in Maryhill 1881 Census  .She ends up in Canada as a home child their mother dies
1868 Partick age 31 ..There is also a death for a Elizabeth Gilmour 1859 Partick other name Marshall which I would check also

Thank you very much Rosie. I will do what I can to follow up on the information you posted. The information is very useful indeed.

Regarding Canada and Lilley - do you know where in Canada she went too and when she went there?

I checked the death for William in 1874. His wives are Christina McFarlane and Mary Love. Elizabeth McPherson (Jane's mother) is not mentioned which suggests to me Jane was probably born illegitimate.
