      In the 1841 Census Ann is aged 10 - living with her parents Robert and Ann, both aged 35. Robert is a Sp(?) Dealer and they all live at Cross St in Keith.
      With them is an 11 yo servant Jane Fraser.

      Bridge of Dee in Aberdeen (East Peterculter).

      Burial details are not on the Death Certificate.

      From researcher Marion Fielding - Was not with hubbie 1891 but spouse is described as married to her when he dies, not widower of.
      On census she is wrongly indexed as head of household age 7, born Grange, living 50 Bedford Road Old Machar, that was in April, 2 sons with her.
      In 1891 she was at 5 Sea View St Nicholas Aberdeen as Ann Forsythe a male! Spouse not present.
      Parents confirmed on birth record. On familysearch private input calls father George but same date.
      Was given as 10 on 1841 census.
      In 1851 she and sister isabella are visiting in Main St Newmill Keith with what is transcribed as Jan Shand female born Inveravon Banffshire, feuar age 63, the parents are not listed in Keith as far as i can tell after having ploughed through 2762 names. This Jane/Jane may be a second wife for her grandfather as a John Shand born c 1781 (age 60) is a feuar at the same address in 1841
