Lookup please - Janet PEAT 1841c Census/Death

[larc1790]

The only ones showing anything close to that age range and b. Lanarkshire in the 1841 are

Boghead, Lesmahagow:

Jean Peat, 60-64, Independent, b. Lanarkshire

and

Castlegate, Lanark

Janet Peat, 55-59, Independant, b. Lanarkshire


There are various Jane/Janet/Jean Pate/Peat/Peate but either too young or not born Lanark. Also those who were living elsewhere but b. Scotland. Very tricky to locate.

You could tried Freecen:

I believe that it is complete for Scotland for 1841.

Hello again,

Thank you for all your assistance, Gadget.

Do you know where Castlegate, Lanark is?  The "Castlegate, Lanark

Janet Peat, 55-59, Independant, b. Lanarkshire" might be a possible.  

Janet was left 500 pounds stirling in Mary's Will.

Regards,

Christine

Unless we can sort out if it was Pait (variations) or Weir, I'm not sure if any of them are valid.

See my previous message.

I'm sorry Christine but I see that the one that I found was this:

I put it on the other thread.

sorry this is getting confusing:

I see that you say in previous posts that she was b, Lesmahagow, Lanark - possibly this one:

25 August 1756, Mary Wier, daughter of William Weir and Marion Pait, Lesmahagow.

Now I'm not sure if we're looking for Paits/Pates/Peats/Peates or Weirs 

Can you clarify please.

Oh I am sorry to confuse you! 

For the rest of Mary's life in Australia - she either signed her name as Mary Larkham (her common law partner) or Mary WEIR (WARE).

So she wasn't the Mary Weir that we found in Lesmahagow - parents William Weir and Marion Pait.

I think it would be best if you checked on Freecen for Janet on the 1841. If she's not there, then she might well have died and Mary didn't know.

If she was dead, it would mean searching MIs which I don't have access to.

Well, the information about James - stopped be looking further at William Weir and Marion Pait.

Why would the children be known as PATE/PEAT - if they WEIRs 

I suspect a "skeleton in the cupboard" 

I will try and find Janet's death. 

Once again, thank you - Gadget.

It's all very confusing, Christine.

I've checked out the James Pate (variations), Shotts but can't find a baptism for him 1747- 52, Shotts or Lesmahagow.
