Do  u know who janets parents where ?

[Kate NZ]

Hi No i have no idea who her parents were thats what i have been stuck on for some time now,going by the scottish naming patterns her mother would be Elizabeth and her father Adam but thats only the children i have found so their may be other children i havent found also i have not found any record of her marraige to David although thats not unusual Bye Harriet

Hi Harriot -
This is a long shot, but Sharp in Scotland can also be spelled Shairp.  That is my family tree, and Janet Shairp is a common name in that family - I found four of them but unfortunately, I don't have dates or spouses for them.  Most of the names I got off Sasines and they were all daughters, wives, or sisters of various Thomas Shairps of Houston in Uphall.  Just another direction to look that might help.

Cheers - Arcona
