Ann Agnes Watson nee Duncan - No death record??

[iregurl]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to track down a death record for my 5x great-grandmother Ann Agnes Watson nee Duncan.  According to the family gravemarker at Jedburgh Abbey, she died in 1839 less than a year after her husband James Watson died in 1838.  Her marriage record said she and James were both from Cupar, Fife at the time of their marriage.

Their children's names were:

1. James b. 1802 in Cupar, Fife
2. John Rutherford (I think this is a deviation from the naming tradition as John is not a common name in later generations)  b. 1804 in Kelso, Roxburghshire
3. Margaret b. 1806 in Kelso, Roxburghshire died 1827 in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire
4. William b. 1809 in Kelso, Roxburgshire
5. Andrew b. 1813 in Kelso, Roxburghshire

The family moved to Jedburgh sometime between 1813 and 1821.

The existing belief is that her parents were Andrew Duncan and Anne Sivis, but there is no concrete proof, just speculation.

When was she born?
Is she the 1800  marriage in Cupar - Fife?
What were the childrens birthyears?  Were they born Fife or Roxburgh?

EDIT - William was b 1809 & Andrew was b 1814 - both Roxburgh.  The 1800 marriage entry & both births show her only as Anne

Some of the birth records for her children she went by Agnes.  Her birth year is unknown.  The only other record for her is the 1831 Jedburgh Census but it just lists her as an adult female.

This is probably her burial record.

Sadly, not Ann, but 2 young Watson children.

You are not going to find any record of her death as opposed to the one of her burial, because deaths as such were not routinely recorded until the start of civil registration in 1855.

If you have a gravestone with birthplace you have more information than is usually available for deaths before 1855. Odd there's no burial record, however, if there are such records for others in the same year.

According to the family gravemarker at Jedburgh Abbey, she died in 1839 less than a year after her husband James Watson died in 1838. 

Do you have a transcription of the text on this family gravemarker that mentions James and Ann?
