Biography

A Jane Meldrum Du... Somerville was born in Dunfermline burgh in 1856.

A David Somerville married Margaret Duff in Dunfermline in 1852. Margaret Duff/Somerville died in 1859.

A D. Somerville married Mary Kelty in Dunfermline in 1860.

In the 1861 census, there is a family recorded in Dunfermline on Moodie Street of: Davis Somerville, 37 Mary, 32 John, 7 Jean, 5

The 1881, 1891, and 1901 censuses have a Jane born in Dunfermline, married to William Rolland Somerville, aged 25, 35, and 44 respectively which would be in line with the age of Jean from the 1861 census. They were living in Glasgow.

The 1891 census lists her as Jane M. D. Somerville which matches her two middle names.

It appears that their second son was named David, which would follow Scottish naming patterns in being named after her father David.
