Can't find the family on 1861 Scottish Census. Elizabeth had married by then. Mary might have been out of the house by then too but Ann would only have been 11. I think it's the spelling of the name that's causing the problems. Looked on SP for marriages deaths etc also Ann's birth 1850-1851 in Hamilton, Lanarkshire can't find it. Girls can you help?
