Janet BEATSON, (or Jamieson) [570]

Born: 7 Dec 1870, High Street, Kinghorn, Fife ¹
Unmarried (1): Unknownpartner [14346]
Marriage (2): James MURDOCH [12265] about 1898
Died: 28 Mar 1925, 4, Gilmour Street, Kilmarnock, Ayr, Scotland aged 54 ²

Other names for Janet were Helen JAMIESON and Janet JAMIESON.

General Notes:

Janet Beatson/Jamieson was born illegitimate to Helen Beatson; no father was cited on the birth registration, but I believe Helen was already in a relationship with Robert Jamieson who she later married.

A Janet Jamieson was living with the couple in 1881. I have been unable to find a death for Janet Beatson, or birth for Janet Jamieson, so must conclude they are the same person.

According to 1911 census, JANET BEATSON AND HER HUSBAND, JAMES MURDOCH, HAD TWO CHILDREN, one already deceased by then, and the surviving child was not at home.
