Notes |
- Both Elizabeth and Janet Todd are difficult to track on the 1891 census before Janet sailed off to Australia (later in 1891) and Elizabeth married in 1895 (and eventually went to the USA).
According to family information, Elizabeth was a governess to Sir Walter Scott's grandchildren at Kelso, Roxborough. There is convincing evidence that Elizabeth Todd was at Kelso with a photo identified by her own writing and still with Todd descendants which was taken at Kelso.
Janet was supposed to have been in service at Methven Castle but she is not recorded there on the 1891 census. However, there is a Margaret Todd (allegedly born 1858 in England) at Methven Castle on the 1881 census. This is (despite confusing information about birthplace) Elizabeth {and Janet's eldest sister} because also in the household is Richard Thomas HUTCHINSON whom Margaret married the same year in Perth.
An Elizabeth Todd (born Dalhousie, Midlothian) aged 27 is a cook, domestic, in a house headed by John R.Ovens in St George, Edinburgh on the 1891 census. The age is correct, but Elizabeth was born at Torosay, Argyll, whereas Janet was born 1864 in Dalhousie, Midlothian.
Simplest explanation is that Elizabeth gave a different birthplace, as no record can be found for an Elizabeth Todd born at Dalhousie around 1862-64. It should be noted that Elizabeth gave her age as 28, rather than 32 at her marriage to James Keegan in 1895. Various members in this family line gave 'alternative' information about their ages.
