      Jane Bell Young (MS Todd) (McArthur) Wilkie, Wife, Dtr of Ann Todd (Head) , Age 37** (suspect an error here) as Mother only 43 yrs***

      James Todd, Grandson
      John McArthur, Grandson
      Ann McArthur, Grandtr
      Jane Wilkie, Granddtr
      *** - From James & Jane's marriage cert. Jane's Maiden name is Todd, she was married prev to Mr. McArthur - thus perhaps Ann Todd on 1901 census is her Sister - and ancestry.ca has erroneously transcribed this???? Also in 1896 at James & Jane's marriage - Jane's age was 32 - James 19

      I cannot find death records for this individual on Scotlands People nor a 1911 census in the Clackmannan area - thus probability of immigration to another location appears possible. Jan 28 2012 hw
