Hi!

Had a look for you this afternoon and here we are :

71 Main Street (North side), Auchterarder

Margaret (43), HEAD, MAR, Cotton Winder, b. Auchterarder
Janet (18), DAU, SIN, Hand Loom Weaver, b. Auchterarder
Margery (16), DAU, SIN, Hand Loom Weaver, b. Auchterarder
Margaret (14), DAU, SIN, Hand Loom Weaver, b. Auchterarder
James (12), SON, SIN, Hand Loom Weaver, b. Auchterarder
Alexander (10), SON, SIN, b. Auchterarder
William (, SON, SIN, b. Muckhart
Elizabeth (5), DAU, SIN, b. Auchterarder

I noticed that she was married but her husband was not there so I looked up the OPR baptism registers for the children, however, I could only find Janet listed :

It read :
b. 23.02.1832, bap. 20.5.1932
Daughter, Janet, to James Kerr, Carnworth (?), and Margaret Allan

I wondered if they moved out of the town centre after Janet was born and perhaps lived somewhere between Auchterarder and Yetts of Muckhart - William appears to have been born there - then moved back again ??

Anyway, hope this helps.

Thanks for this

For your information by 1870 she is married to a relative in New York, and like you I had not been able to find a likley birth.
