Hi Monica,

Thank you for your answer, and no I did not have that name.

 I am trying to try find out  the different family members eg parents ,spouses and any children. I have been told by a family member that has been to  Edinburgh (A new registry house that was opening soon ) and did find a lot of the family members and the other connections, eg marriages, births, deaths, etc and when I asked for the info, as I had given her something to start with to look for, I have not had any answer and that was back in May this year.

So I am very greatful for your answer and I am glad that their are people out there that will help you.

When I re-read my note I realised that I had put in John was born 1792 instead of his marriage year, so thank you very much for the information as I did not have any of the that information.
Once again thankyou very much.

Regards Annette.

FreeCen has them in the 1841 census, do a search under the name Kettels in Angus.
Theres a few other children listed.

Hi Julz,

Thanks for your response. I have tried getting into the 1841 census, and it will not allow me to go into it
I have tried different ways and it still will not let me get into it. Maybe there is a way, different to what I have been doing, so I will try them again.

HI Annette ellen

Like you, I cannot easily see any John or Janet Kettle(and variants) that would fit their age (b. 1760-75) in the 1841 Census in Angus or elsewhere. Maybe Julz can provide refs. from FreeCen.

Just had a look for the Howff File of Dundee Burials in the Howff Cemeteries provided by Dundee City Archives.

You can contact them I would imagine for more info:

1245 Kettel [Gibson ] John  Gardener
 see Janet Gibson (no date for this which is unusual)

1244 Kettel Stewart 26Jun 1836 10 mth Dundee
 Water in Head dau ofJames Kettel, Gardener

1461 Gibson (Kettel) Janet 28 Jan 1843 81 Dundee
 Old Age Widow of John Kettel, Gardener

Janet must be on the 1841 census somewhere.

You can find the Dundee Archives at http://www.fdca.org.uk/index.htm
The Howff file is under Databases.

Happy hunting

Well done! That does look like John and Janet. Still can't find Janet in the 1841 Census though, trying all sorts of names/variants.........she's there, but how has her names been transcribed
