Jannet Bruce
1762 (approx) - after 1841
Janet was Calum's and Jamie's great great
great great great great grandmother.
Little is known of Janet at present. According to
the IGI, Jannet was born in "approximately 1762" in Kinclaven, Perthshire - this is the right Jannet, as she is listed
as the wife of Peter Henderson. There is actually only one definite possibility for the Kinclaven
area at this time, which is Jannet Bruice, born on June 6th 1758, and daughter to Andrew Bruice
and Isbel Elder. If this is the correct entry, then Jannet had a sister Isabell, christened
July 13th 1761, and a brother James, born 3rd January 1758. Either James or Jannet's birth date is incorrect,
as they could not have been born six months apart! The relevant OPRs still need to be examined.
Jannet married Peter Henderson at some stage prior to 1782, in the parish of Kinclaven, Perthshire, where they raised a
family together.
By 1841, Janet was recorded in the census as
living at Airdrum, Kinclaven, where she resided on her own, living on independent means. Also living with her was a
Margaret Henderson, aged 20 and described as a farm servant, who may have been her granddaughter (GROS:1841/365/4/3).
It is not yet known when Janet died.
