Ah - what about the others?

[Rosinish]

"Yes Annie that's the death certificate that I have"

Who was the informant?

What was the age of Agnes in 1846?

A possible?

CARRUTHERS MARGARET JANE 1860
799/2 43 Ladhope (Roxburgh)

No matching ref. i.e. a spinster?

No age on index so it may be unlikely her parentage was known either?

Have you looked at this baptism record - Kirkpatrick Fleming 1795

[Gadget]

Not sure if you've seen these:
Also to same parents - Mary as Mathers, Kirkpatrick Fleming

Margaret 27 Jan 1794
Henrietta 26 June 1797

Agnes seem much younger than the others

Have you chased up the others on the 1841?  I had a quick look earlier but couldn't find the Stewart and the others have common names 

Stewart was the 'newborn' Agnes was tried for in 1846 

Gadget,

My apologies, Stewart is on 1841!

I misread it, Agnes was tried for killing her 'newborn' which was obviously not Stewart.

1841 - Fairy Hall, Kirkpatrick Fleming, Dumfriesshire

Add...Great find on the baptisms!!!

[Gadget]

Yep - got the names from the 1841.

Found Elspeth on 1841- 1861 and 1871 in Newlands - not yet on 1851 - must be a big mistranscription. She's down as b. KP in last 2 but b. county in 1841 (Peeblesshire)

1841, children are Mary, b.c. 1834, Jane b.c. 1835, William, b.c. 1838 and Marion b.c. 1840

[Gadget]

Just thinking about grandchildren and knowing their grandmothers' maiden name. I've seen this on many death certs. .  The informant on Elspeth's death cert is her son, William. He might well have mis-remembered Elspeth's mothers' name.  The three baptism records do suggest that it was Mathers as first thought.

I have a few with wrong maiden names but enough evidence to work out the errors.

A possible death although not sure on the area given where the family were previously & note there's no 's' on the end?
