bullet  General Notes:

At the time of the 1841 Census William and Janet are living in Newarthill, Lanarkshire. He is aged 30, a coal miner, born in the County. Janet is recorded as 25 (she was actually 34, an age discrepancy she carried forward until her death) and not born in the County. Their children are Thomas, 6, Alexander, 3 and James, 1. Daughters Marion and Janet are missing, perhaps deceased.

Interestingly they are living quite close to the families of Peter & Elisabeth Hardie and Alexander and Christian (nee Hardie) Tennant who are Craig's direct ancestors on a completely different line. They probably knew each other.
