I am trying to find more information on Jeanie or Jean as I believe she preferred to be called.
She was the only child as far as I can find out of William and Thomasina Wickham .
I know she married where and when I have no idea .
I believe she had a family .
Apologies this is all the information I have.

If she was an only child - where does she fit into your FH? Are you related via her parents? Thomasina was Thomasina Houst Wickham

Thank you all .
Jeanie was the cousin of my mother in law . He father and my mother in laws mother were brother
and sister they were all brought up in the Leith district of Edinburgh.
Jeanie did marry and had two daughters my husband remembers meeting them when they visited Scotland many years ago.

Thank you so much Gracie I thought she had been married twice but couldn't find anything on her at all .
They always spoke of her as Jeanie but I wondered if she went by another name as a couple of friends of mine were called Jeannie after their grandmothers and hated it.
