Jane DRYSDALE

[amanda77]

Found out Jane DRYSDALE b 1862 Kinross, was residing at Woodside Farm, Clackmannan at time of 1881 census.

I would like to know who she was staying with as her parents were still in Kinross and she didn't marry until 1886.

can anyone help with this information?

Found her - although the birthplace is shown as Perthshire, not Kinross. (change of boundary?)

Hi Mary,

Thank you for that. Very much appreciated. Thats a little mystery solved there although i would love to know what made her move away by herself when her family remained in Kinross. I guess there are some things we will never know!

Many Thanks
Regards

Hi, Amanda,
I was happy to help, and it only took a minute. I remarked on Jane's birthplace given as Perth, rather than Kinross - but I think the admin. area was "Perth & Kinross". Unless the family were comfortably off, most people were away from home by the time they reached 16.
Aren't the placenames wonderful, I've been browsing http://www.dgnscrn.demon.co.uk/genuki/KRS/Fossoway/
Drop me an email if I can help again with the 1881 census.
