John Meiklejohn b. 10 Apr 1801 in Barony, Lanark married Janet McDougal 6 Jun 1828 in Glasgow. They had 2 daughters, Janet b 1832 and Isabella b 1838 both in Glasgow per the Census. In 1841 the family is residing at Hilland in Glasgow and in 1851 at 72 Waterloo Street, Glasgow.
In 1861 Isabella is working in a shoe shop in Dumbarton and in 1862 marries Thomas Hoey and they move to West Derby, Liverpool. I have found her on all succeeding English Census.
I have several entries from SP to track down and find Janet as a married woman as I saw no matching deaths during the interim.
In 1861 mother Janet is at 72 William Street, Anderston, Glasgow. Although she is shown as Head, her occupation is "Joiners Wife". I have been unable to find any record of her husband John in 1861 nor have I found a death on SP which fits after several tries and credits spent.
Janet dies in April 1878 at the Barnhill (think that is correct) Poorhouse outside of Glasgow. I have not found an entry yet for her in the 1871 Census.
Any help in finding Janet in 1871 would be appreciated and maybe other suggestions of search parameters so I can find John also.
Thanks,
Jojo
