I'm looking for details of Janet Wallace, born about 1831 in Fife, married to farmer, John Brown, born about 1830, with a son called William Brown born about 1857. Details of any family members? Thanks, David Wallace Brown.

Hi David
There is only one birth showing for a William to these parents in the time frame you have - all from IGI at www.familysearch.org:
WILLIAM BROWN Birth: 25 SEP 1856 Fetteresso, Kincardine
Other children showing to this couple include:
1. JOHN BROWNBirth: 11 OCT 1846 Fetteresso, Kincardine
2. ISABELLA BROWN Birth: 22 SEP 1848 Fetteresso, Kincardine
3. MARGARET KEITH BROWN Birth: 05 JUN 1850 Fetteresso, Kincardine
4. SUSAN BROWN Birth: 04 JUN 1852 Fetteresso, Kincardine
5. CHARLES THOMSON BROWN Birth: 06 JUN 1854 Fetteresso, Kincardine
6. JAMES BROWN Birth: 04 NOV 1858 Arbuthnott, Kincardine
7. JESSY BROWN Birth: 28 OCT 1862 Arbuthnott, Kincardine
8. MARY BROWN Birth: 05 AUG 1865 Arbuthnott, Kincardine
Marriage/banns for parents show on 31 AUG 1845 Fetteresso, Kincardine and 13 SEP 1845 Durris, Kincardine
Ancestry looks to be down at present, so I can't double check this family's entry for father John's occupation or mother Janet's birthplace.

Census info up and running again...sort of!
The John Brown and Janet Wallace from above - John does show as farmer but Janet shows as born in the country of Kincardine. What is the source for the Fife reference? Also birth years slightly out. From the 1851 entry for this family, John shows c. 1818 and Janet c. 1826 in (can't access 1861 at present to compare...Ancestry is still not 100% up).

Hi, just noticed your post. My wife has a Janet Wallace born abt 1827 in her family tree. Her parents were Benjamin and Margaret. Is this any relation to your Janet ? I have her brothers and sisters if you want them.
