Hi, Again!
Could this be Catherine Anderson?
Piece: SCT1841/311 Place: Monikie -Angus Enumeration District: 2 Civil Parish: Monikie Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: - Folio: 2 Page: 16 Address: Downieken
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks ANDERSON Andrew M 46 Linen Hand Loom Weaver Angus ANDERSON Margaret F 44 Angus ANDERSON Isabella F 11 Angus ANDERSON Catherine F 9 Angus ANDERSON Mary F 5 Angus ANDERSON Elizabeth F 3 Angus
This was on FreeCen. LDS gives Andrew Anderson married on 12 Oct 1821, Auchterhouse, Angus to Mary McDonald with James McDonald Anderson, born 7 Apr 1824, Auchterhouse, Isabella born 22 Sep 1829, Auchterhouse, Catherine born 26 Nov 1831, Auchterhouse, Mary born 12 Apr 1835, Auchterhouse and Elizabeth born 10 Jan 1838, Moneikie. Their mother's name on births is variously Margaret/Mary McDonald/Donald/Nichol.
It seems that weaving moved forward from Hand with Andrew to Power with Margaret. I think I have run out of ideas, now!!!! Going for my tea!!!!
All the Best in your search, Lindy.

Hi,
I found this on FreeCen -
Piece: SCT1841/302 Place: Lintrathen -Angus Enumeration District: 3 Civil Parish: Lintrathen Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: - Folio: 3 Page: 7 Address: Balnakeilly
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks ADAM James M 45 Farmer Angus ADAM Euphemia F 35 Outside Census County (1841) ADAM Helen F 13 Angus ADAM Eliza F 11 Angus ADAM Stewart M 10 Angus ADAM Janet F 8 Angus ADAM Margeret F 6 Angus ADAM Jane F 4 Angus ADAM John M 1 Angus ADAM Euphemia F 3m Angus GUILD Isabella F 25 Female Servant Angus GRANT Janet F 20 Female Servant Outside Census County (1841) ANNAND May F 18 Female Servant Angus
Looks like they are all connected, but no Charles Adams. Jane/Jean/Janet are all the same, when it comes to searching! This one was not born in Angus.
I'll take another look. If I come up with anything, I'll let you know.

Hi Lindy,
Thanks - that information is brilliant. I have also done some digging and I have found Margaret and William's marriage. Also she died on 31Oct1884 aged 34, due to Phlhisis (a respiratory disease accompanied by coughing up blood and fainting - maybe due to her work in the Mills). She died at the Dundee Royal Lunatic Asylum which is a bit of a worry! Re the information you looked up, I think it is all spot on except that I think Jean/Jane Grant was born in Inveravon, Banff (per 1851 census) - there seem to be a lot of Jean/Jane Grants around! I think she must be the one christened on 13Jun1818, Inveravon, Banff, to Thomas Grant and Jane Grant.
Thanks again, Lynne

On LDS, I couldn't find Margaret Adams/Gow's birth or marriage. But I found William's parents and birth date -
James Gow, m. 24. Apr 1749, Kirkton of Glenisla, Angus, Scotland, to Jane/Jean Grant
Apparently, William was their only child and born on 9 Aug 1851, Lintrathen, Angus, Scotland.
(Bridge of Lintrathen is about 6 miles west of Kirriemuir, J.M. Barrie's birthplace!)
Could it be that Jane/Jean Grant's parents were James Grant and Martha Annand? They married on 6 Jul 1821, Bridgend of Lintrathen, Angus. If so, Jane/Jean was born on 22 Dec 1822, Lintrathen, Angus and they had 6 other children. (LDS)
Would you like the info on the 6 children, or will you look it up yourself? Oooooh, this is fun!!!!!!
Please, please, PLEASE, note that despite the 1891 Census Return, Forfar is a town and Angus is the county.

Hi Glenys, Thanks for looking that up for me. I'm not sure whether it is her or not. Her husband and kids were living in Dundee, which is a fair distance away.
1891 Census information for them is: Name: William Gow Age: 39 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1852 Relationship: Head Gender: Male Where born: Lintrathen, Forfarshire Registration Number: 282/3 Registration district: St Clement Civil Parish: Dundee County: Angus Address: 14 Stirling St Occupation: Grocer ED: 19 Page: 29 (click to see others on page) Household schedule number: 154 Line: 8 Roll: CSSCT1891_92 Household Members: Name Age Adam Gow 10 James Gow 12 Jane Anderson Gow 13 William Gow 39 William Gow 8 Betsy Smith 24 Catherine C Smith 60 Per William and Margaret's marriage certificate, she was a Powerloom Weaver, common in Dundee. So music teacher seems unlikely, but who knows - her husband was a grocer, so maybe she moved up in the world - but why would she live away, unless they were separated? Because the 8 year old William turned up between the 1881 and 1891 census, it appears that they were together during that time. A mystery!

Hi All! Can someone please help me with some look-ups:
Margaret Gow (nee Adams) born approx 1852. Her husband was William Gow born approx 1852 Lintrathern Forfarshire (Angus) Scotland. They were married on 04Jan1876, both aged 24, in Dundee, District of St Andrew (Statutory marriages 282/04 0031).
Her parents were Charles Adams and Catherine Adams (nee Anderson).
The information I would love some help with is: Per the 1881 and 1891 Scotland Censuses, Margaret was not with the rest of the family (her husband and children), but I can't find where she was. Can anyone else find her in the Census records please?
I would also love to know her date and place of birth details and those of her parents, also her husband William's date of birth.
Thanks in advance - any help would be much appreciated. Lynne
