Well from memory!, it was a Janet Leadbetter Douglas wife of...Douglas, who was mentioned in 1879 Will (James Leadbetter) other name was a Margaret Charles at address, (which gg posted 1871 Census on above other 'Thread' link reference)...

As you say AG, best to leave, and continue on 'other', if Sylann is interested.
