No trace in Scotland 1871 or 1881

Then checked England - would appear that Jane Leishman brought her 2 children to England (also a son George bp.10/6/1859 Yester) and in 1865 she married a William Weaver in Manchester.

1871 Manchester, Lancs.

William Weaver    32       b. Manchester, Lancs.
Jane Weaver        29       b. Scotland
John Weaver         2        b. Manchester
George Leisham   11       b. Scotland   (shown as boarder ?)
John Leisham        8        b. Scotland               ditto

Cannot trace in 1881 in either Scotland or England
