Janet TURNBULL,¹ daughter of John TURNBULL ( - ) and Harriet UNKNOWN ( - ), was born in 1815 in London, England.^{1 2 3} calculated from deat cert. Janet died on 23 Dec 1879 in 64 High St., Dalkeith.^{1 1} stomach cancer. Janet married James MCLEAN.

The 1861 census finds them, less John who was living with the Howat's in Catrine, at Roberts Wynd, Falkirk. James McLean, Head, 48, shoemaker; Janet McLean, 45, wife; Janet McLean, daughter, 12; Elizabeth McLean, daughter, 9; and Ann McLean,

daughter, 4 months. All are born at Falkirk, except wife Janet, listed as born in London(no record on IGI)

By 1871 census at High St. Falkirk, with James, 58, shoemaker; wife Janet Turnbull, 55, born London;and Ann daughter, 10, scholar.

Perhaps the first Mrs. McLean, Janet died and John remarried to Janet Turnbull between the 1851 and 1861 censuses. This would explain the age discrepancy between Catherine, born 1838, and Janet, born 1849. However no GROS record of death 1855-61.

And OPR deaths prior to 1855 not yet on website. IGI has a record of birth of a Janet Turnbull in 1815, but no marriages 1851-61, and no deaths for Janet McLean in that period.Also no Statutory marriages 1855-61.Nor OPR marriages 1851-55.However

there is a Stat. Reg. death for Janet McLean/Turnbull in 1879. This indicates a marrige to James McLean and she died at their residence.

The 1881 census lists James at 64 High St. Falkirk, widowed, 68, shoemaker; Ann McLean, Daughter, unmarried, 20, general servant; and Janet Hendry, illegitimate granddaughter, 4 months, of Falkirk.

James not mentioned 1891 census

Death reg. has a James Lyon, son-in-law, as informant.
