Hello crankypants,
Thank you very much. You have just doubled the number of children for John ARROL and his spouse Ann TYTLER.
Death
Ann Arrol, widow of John Arrol (Weaver)
Died: 22nd August 1863, aged 78yrs
At: 69 Causeyside Street Paisley
Her parents:
William Tytler, Writers Clerk (deceased)
Christina Tytler MS Langmuir (deceased)
Cause of death: Palsy - 10 weeks
Informant: James Arrol, 65 Canal Street Paisley
Spouse John died before 17 Feb 1853 the date in the Paisley Paupers Index entry for daughter Janet b. abt 1827.
So far I don't have Ann in 1861. She is not with son James and his family nor with son William and his family.
An entry in the Paupers Index in 1853 for Ann's daughter Janet: " Lives with Mother who keeps children in her absence."
They are together somewhere with some of Janet's children in 1861. John died 1858 so the only one left is Mary C.
So this should be them in 1861:
Ann b. abt 1793
dau Janet b. abt 1827
grand dau Mary C b. 1855
The other child I had was James b. abt 1821 who married Jean (Jane) BUTCHARD /BUTCHART (we have not looked at that family yet).
James is not with his mother and siblings in 1851. I have him in 1861 but so far he can't be found in 1851.
John and Ann married in 1815 so I was expecting more than two children. Now William b. abt 1818 and Elizabeth can be added. No sign of so many of these in IGI. I'll go with 1818 for William for now. There is still a gap for more children.
