My great grandmother was Mary Elizabeth, who was born on 12 June 1869. She married into the Tomalin family in 1892. You might be interested to know that William and Janet had another child, also called Robert (second name Pendred) who was born about 1859. As it seemed to be customary to name children after dead siblings, it is likely that this child died before Robert Stevenson was born. My grandmother left scanty information on Janet Ford and I went to Stirling last year to try to find her, but without success. If you have any information, I would be most grateful. Please email me direct at [email protected] and I would be happy to share what I have. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best wishes.
