Janet's marriage:

SKED JANET
JOHNSTON ROBERT
1869
713 / 12
North Berwick


They're in later censuses, although Janet's wrongly said to be the daughter of James Hepbon/Hepburn and Elizabeth his wife.

Elizabeth Kelly married James Hepburn in 1855 - so she must have had a previous partner named Sked, who was Janet's father.

Elizabeth Kelly

Gender Female
Marriage Date 15 Jan 1855

But I don't see a Sked (or similar) / Kelly marriage in the parish records (which doesn't mean there wasn't one) , nor do I see Janet's baptism.

Pointing you to the 1921 census wasn’t helpful?
I believe in helping people to find the right place to find their answers - not doing all the work for them, especially when there are extra costs involved for the individual researcher.
I thought you had left Alviegirl out of your thanks when she had done a tremendous amount of work on your behalf.

If Kate Kelly was still alive then she should be on the 1921 Scottish census - isn’t it available yet on Scotlands People? It would at least tell you where she was born.

Argyll Gran you have helped me before - Thank you so much .

I have registered with Scotland People : The error I keep getting is : The form has become outdated. Press the back button, copy any unsaved work in the form, and then reload the page. I will persevere.

Awww Margarita daughter died only 17 :(

William & Jessie did not seem to have children

I am trying to determine the relationship between Kate Kelly said to have lived at 6 Market Place North Berwick in 1915 with Jane Leitch nee Kelly and Mary Collie nee Kelly . All 3 Kelly women lived together for years

We know Mary Collie and Jane Leitch were Aunt and Niece
we don’t know where Kate Kelly fits in ?

The only other Kate I can find is born to a Robert Kelly Born 1844 Married to Mary Livingstone, Think their children were Mary, James, Janet & Catherine ( Maybe the Kate ) I'm trying to identify

Because I don't know where this Kate Kelly was born or died only where she lived, I'm not what what to look up?

Jane Kelly is on the 1881 census so has to be the 1880 birth. Mary was born and died 1882 and her mother, Joan died the same year.
Jane must be the daughter who survived.

You are super helpful and I appreciate your help and support

I was told Mary Jane Kelly's Mum Joan Marr died in child birth 1882
when Mary Jane Kelly moved to her grandmother Mary Thomas, hey decided they could not have to Marys in 1 house so they called the child Jane

I had no idea there was another baby born 1880 Jane - what happened to this Baby?

I will get credits from scotland's people - Great advice - Thank you
