Searching for relatives of Janet Murray Lessels, born in Scotland mid-1850's (mother Margaret Couston or Coston or Coustan, father William Lessels), immigrated 1881 or 1882 per census, married John Dewar in Jersey City 1882 and lived in Newark/East Orange. 4 daughters: Margaret L Dewar b. 1883, Minnie E Dewar b. 1888, Isabel Jean (or Jean Isabel, per family - my grandmother) b. 1889, Marjorie G Dewar b. 1898. There was an "Uncle Alex" Lesley living in Newark in the early 1940's, but I don't know whether he was a member of the same family as Janet Lessels, or related only by marriage to one of her sisters (I believe Marjorie). One of the daughters married a man named Winne (or Winnie?) and had at least twin daughters named Barbara Janet and Janet Barbara. I have a great deal of information about the descendants of Isabel Jean down to present, and birth and death information for her 3 sisters, but no information about the descendants of the sisters, and none about the family roots in Scotland. Apparently there were maiden ladies still living in Scotland in the 1960's, but the people in my family who were in touch with them are no longer living. Has anyone done any research on this family?
