Thanks again Trish.
I'm going to send a link to this page to my sister, Gaynor.
She is also doing research into our tree.
There could well be a reply from her later

Hi Trish
That looks right
I know Jane was 50 years old in the 1881 census and in the family, we know she was born in Edinburgh, so Liberton ties in with that.
Also, James and Grace are right.
The Donkin / Duncan thing would have been a very easy mistake for a registrar to make.
I'll have to try looking for Richard Duncan in America to see if the same thing happened there.
Thanks for your reply

Hi Blyth - If you're still keeping an eye on this thread, William and Jane Donkin were my G G Grandparents. I live in the potteries and I too have failed to find anything about Jane. Have you managed to find anything more in the last few years ?
William and Jane's son, Richard, was my G Grandfather. He had two daughters, Agnes and my Grandmother Jane Blyth.
In 1905, Richard emigrated to America to join his brother, David. They lived in Sebring, Ohio. In the 1910 census, they were living together in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
That's the last I can find of them.
Which of William and Jane's children are you descended from ?

Hi.
I hope you're still posting on here.
I was searching the net for Collis' in Ellastone and found this thread.
I've got William Collis and Jane Wint in my ancestry. I also have the William's ancestors back to Nicholas Collis, married to Elizabeth Scattergood (love that name) who was born in 1656.
If any of you has more info, or would like more of mine, please get in touch
