SOURCE BIRTH: Parish Registers F. Scot 6 Pt 7 for Walls, Shetland, Scot. FHL 919496 DEATH: from Frank Scot of Lerwick NOTE NAME: Jean is also known as Jane DEATH: 29 Market St. CENSUS 1881 living with her Brother, Lawrence: Dwelling: Clairmont Place, Lerwick NOTES: from Frank Scott - Born in Voe, Walls took a job as a servant with Robert Twatt also in Voe, Walls. This is shown in 1851 census. It must have been about this time when she met John Scott who had been born at Brunnatwatt only about a mile away, but the family home was at Riskuness only about a mile from Voe the opposite way from Brunnatwatt. John and Jane (Jean) married early in 1852 and must have gone almost at once to Westoe in South Shields because their first born son born in Dec 1852. They only had a few years of married life as John died of smallpox at sea in 1856. When Jane came home to Breck, Twatt, with her two boys I and not sure but the 1861 census shows them there. She and the two boys also stayed at Gardenhouse and Melby where John was a stable boy to Scott of Melby. In the 1871 census we find Jane living alone in a home in Stove, Walls so both boys had gone. John to start his career at sea which he did in 1865 and Peter surely making his way to Australia. The next I was able to find out about her was when she married a second time, to William Mouat, a widower. He is recorded as a cooper and they married in the Methodist Church, Lerwick and stayed in Hangcliff Lane. However she died in 29 Market Street and she is on the Scott Gravestone as Jane Gray, mother of John Scott. (was there a disapproval of this second marrige?) I never knew of this second marriage and only found out about it when I looked up her death certificate.
