Kay 99

It’s a possibility? Her father on her marriage is stated as a weaver but her death Cert states his name as James - postman?

I can’t find a birth record ?

I think it is the right 1851 entry as in 1861 she is shown as Jane C.  She is shown as "head" & has  a sister in law Mary Yule 37 living with her.  Mary's occ is shown as letter carrier & general servant

If Mary was her sister in law I would expect her surname to be Turriff

[CaroleW]

In 1851 there is this entry - all surname Turriff & all b Peterhead except William & Mary

William 25 Tailor b Crimond
Jane 24
Jane 3
Mary Ann 1
Mary 27 b Crimond

Mary Turriff married George Youll in 1851

I think the 1851 census Kay99 found is closer there are a few Turriff families in Crimmond which causes confusion !!
