Yes, but the available NS vital stats records all start at 1864 and if Janet was 19 in the 1871 census she would have been born c.1852. Any way to find earlier records? Does anyone know of someone else who has researched or is also researching these families? Unless I can make some connections here I am stuck at ggf's wedding in 1873- a long way from determining his origins in Scotland. Thanks again for ANY info.
