Janet Allan
« on: Sunday 02 October 05 17:13 BST (UK) »
Janet Allan was born around 1801, the daughter of James Allan and Mary Watt.  She was unmarried and lived in Grahamston, Falkirk and died in 1885 at the age of 84.

I cannot find her birth or the marriage of her parents in the IGI and would be grateful for any assistance in obtaining details of these.

I had a similar problem with a "Janet Allan" in my family. Check under "Jessie Allan", that's howI found ours.

Regards,

Alan.

Her parents were married in Edinburgh and I dropped this one because it did not seem to
belong to my branch of the Allan family.  If I can find or recall the details, I will get back to you. However a search in ScotlandsPeople in Edinburgh should get you there.
