This confirms that Betty and Janetta were indeed sisters. As one other poster confirmed Netta emigrated to Boston in 1912. She married Fred Campbell. Not sure either regarding to comment on the following page to Alec Learmonth. Betty died in 1983 unmarried.
The family were living in Aberdeen at the time of the 1901 Census (168 Mid Stocket Road, St Machar, Aberdeen) but her father died in 1904 whilst trying to cross a fast flowing river in The Transvaal.
