General Notes:
The 1841 census for the parish of Greenock Middle, Renfrewshire, recorded Jane Sandilands living in Longwell Close with her family. Jane was aged 2 years. Her birthplace was indicated by an "E" in the first column, the second being left blank. This presumably indicates she was born in England.
In the 1851 UK census for Greenock Renfrewshire John Sandilands aged 45 years, his wife Jane aged 44 years, and their two daughters Isabella aged 13 years and Jane aged 11 years, were recorded living at 67 Main Street Cartsdyke. John was a journeyman blacksmith who had been born in Kelso. Jane's birthplace was recorded as Greenock, as in her sister's case contradicting the 1841 census entry. She was a scholar.
John Sandilands was recorded as 64 years old and had been born in Kelso, according to the 1871 census for Govan Church parish, Lanarkshire. He was a widower living with his daughter and son in law, Frank Howit, who was the head of the household. They lived at 109 Henderson Street. Jane Howit was noted as being 31 years old and born in Greenock, Renfrewshire.
