Born and lived in Dumfriesshire. Migrated to Ontario, Canada with her children after the death of her husband Irving Neilson in 1853. I have nothing on her prior to 1841.
Thank you!

Thank you, Phillip ~
They are named as her parents on her Findagrave memorial. I was hoping to find documentation. There is a record of a Janet Beck, born to them in 1812. I suppose that could be her. Were the given names Janet and Jane/Jean interchangeable in Scotland. I haven't seen Jane referred to as Janet anywhere.
