Renton family

[sonjainoz]

Looking for info on Janet (aka Jessie) RENTON b 3 Feb 1819 in Fife. Died 22 March 1873. She was the daughter of William RENTON and Elizabeth JOHNSTON.
Janet married Thomas KELLY in 1840.
I am interested in finding more about her siblings and parents so I can hopefully encourage a bit of lateral growth on this old tree.
I am more tha happy to share any info I have that may benefit other listers with the same name interests.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me out here!
Scotland was just brilliant. Unfortunately not any time for research - blast!   Hard to do with an 11 year old in tow.
I have a few children for Janet and Thomas, 7 in all - Alexander, William, Thomas, Elizabeth, John, Janet and Christina.
I am interested in find out what became of those left behind when the four eldest came to Australia with their father, leaving Mum and the other 3 back in Edinburgh! This is the next facinating phase of my research!

Many thanks once again.

Hi

Fascinating indeed.......you should "trap" them in the census

Being thoroughly inquisitive, would like to know whether family was ever re-united

Thomas Kelly and Jessie (Kelly) Renton are my great great grandparents... I have quite a bit of information on them and the rest of the family.  Please get in touch if you're still interesting to learn more about them.  nicolATieeeDOTorg

I'm not sure if I'm looking for the same Renton family....but I am looking for a Renton family in Fife and it is quite an unusual name. My x g grandfather was a Thomas Renton and married Janet Wilson in St Monance in1837. the marriage info states that he was from the nearby Carnbee. i think he possibly  died before the 1841 census but I can't find any information on that or where his family came from. If  anyone has any suggestions- I'd be very grateful as I'm completely stuck!
