Okay, I'll get in the black books of your teachers for leading you astray, but I see on SP that she was born in Carluke in 1861, not Hamilton as is given in the 1871 census. Also, she is 9 years old in that census, not 1- 5… where did you get that age?

All of which means she was probably the 19 year old Margaret Devine, born Carluke, who was a servant in the household of William Cumingham (should that be Cunningham?) in Wiston and Roberton, Lanarkshire in 1881.

Now go study… :arrow:

Sarah :D

You must have failed it particularly well, if it took that long to get that result. Félicitations, Andrew!!! [cheers]
