Can anyone please look on the census for John Brownlie & his wife Janet, her maiden name was also Brownlie. John was born about 1835 in East Calder - Edinburgh, so would be about 26 in 1861. They had their first child Jane in 1855 in Cambusnethan, County of Lanark so I would think they would have been still in that area. I know they had Thomas b. 1857 & William b. 1859 but I don't know where they were born.
Janet died in 1874. John re-married & I have details of them on the 1881 census.
I am mainly trying to find when Janet was born, where her sons were born and where they lived in 1861.
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Kath
