I am trying to find any information at all about Janet Howatson. She married John Yule on the 15th May 1876. He died on the 6th Sept 1933 in Queensland, Australia. If anyone has information regarding my GG Grandparents it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Narelle Litster

Was your Janet born in Australia and married there as she is not detailed on FreeBMD. Regards Irene

I'm not sure where Janet was born. The only other details I know of other than what was in my previous post is that Janet and John had 7 children and their son Thomas Richmond Yule was my Great Great Grandfather.

I wonder if this is her parents

McGregor is a very scottish name, and Janet was often changed to Jessie in Scotland.

I would say it is very likely that the above marriage is correct.

i've found a tree on ancestry, dont know if it is you or a relative that has added it.

It has John Yule and Janet Howatson on there, no details for Janet.

However it has John born to John Yule and Christina B Douglas.

Thank you Siobhan. This is my family. John Yule was born to John Yule and Christina Bartholomew Douglas. You have been a tremendous help. Hopefully now I will be able to continue researching this line of my family!!
