Flockhart of Auchterarder

[belmichael64]

Hi

I have just started to trace my relatives and appear to be stuck already.  My 3x g grandfather Andrew Flockhart (b1812 in Auchterarder) married Jane Scobie - I cannot find a birth date for Jane or a marriage date.  They had a daughter Jane (b1846 Auchterarder) and according to the 1951 census they also had 2 other daughters.  However I cannot read the census very clearly and cannot make out their names I think one may be Isabella. I have looked at the scotlands people website and cannot find birth information for these two daughters or death dates for Jane scobie or Andrew Flockhart.

Any help would be gratefully recieved!!

This is probably no help at all but ancestry has
transcibed the daughters as

Jane b 1843 
Jane b 1847  
Isabella b 1849
All born Auchterarder, Perthshire

Thanks Raylen.  I had not actually looked at Ancestry for these, I have only used scotlandspeople.  Surely that's not normal to have two daughters with the same name? It is actually very difficult to read the census though.

Thanks again

Head of the 1851 census is William Flockhart .Andrews Father all the children the two Janes and Isabella are down as Grandchildren.I think possibly  two are Andrews children Jane and Isabella and the other older  Jane is possibly the daughter of Andrews sister Elizabeth whos also living there.As in the 1861 census only Children living with Andrew are Jane age 14 and Isabella age 12 also his sister and mother living with him.The other Jane age 18 is in service.That would make more sense i think

Hi
I am also working on Michael side of my wifes family on and off for past 3 years, she is also related to Jane Flockhart and John Michael  through their son Andrew John Michael, The Michaels come from Kirkhill Inverness Where Jane Flockhart worked as a domestic servant in Moniack Castle prior to them being married. John's parents were Donald Michael and Mary MacDonald. It gets a bit Fuzzy after this.
Hope this helps
