Member Since: October 2016 Posts: 133 Send Message	Hi, have received a lot of help on researching my geneology and am now stuck on this bit. I have a record of Jane Whitelaw lady's maid to Lady Kinnaird in 186 and am pretty sure she had an illegitimate child in 1860. She was age 33 on the 1861 census and I can't find any marriage records post this date, or any death records, or records of her whereabouts in England or Scotland. Not sure where Lord and Lady Kinnaird were residing in 1871, anyone suggest anything. Have googled lots and looked on census results for England and Scotland and nothing there... He was Baron Kinnaird of Rossie, Perth also. This is the last record of her kindly supplied by a genesreunited member.. 1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription Woolbeding House, Woolavington, Midhurst, Sussex, England Learn more Print transcription View image Household Members First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place George Ponsonby Head Married Male 87 1774 Landed Proprietor Ireland Transcription Dorothy M Ponsonby Wife Married Female 74 1787 - - Transcription Edward Lyly Howard Son In Law Married Male 51 1810 R H Admiral On Half Pay Chiswick, Middlesex, England Transcription Diana H L Howard Daughter Married Female 45 1816 - London, Middlesex, England Transcription Lord Kinnaird Visitor Married Male 53 1808 Peer P C K Y London, Middlesex, England Transcription Y A G Kinnaird Visitor Married Female 43 1818 - Rockhampton, Surrey, England Transcription Henry Barratt Servant Widower Male 47 1814 Butler Domestic Servant Berkshire, England Transcription Ann Dyer Servant Widow Female 60 1801 House Keeper Domestic Servant Langford, Wiltshire, England Transcription Sarah Harrison Servant To Daughter Unmarried Female 42 1819 Ladies Maid Domestic Servant Yarmouth, Norfolk, England Transcription William Talor Servant To Son Unmarried Male 31 1830 Valet Domestic Servant Wilton, Wiltshire, England Transcription Caroline Porter Servant Unmarried Female 32 1829 Ladys Maid Domestic Servant - Transcription Jane Whitelaw Servant To Visitor Unmarried Female 33 1828 Ladys Maid Domestic Servant Scotland xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx There aren't any records of them being there in the 1871 census so am wondering where they went and if they took Jane with them???? Hope someone can help thanks..
