Narrative

In the 1861 Census, Jessie Parson is identified as the mother-in-law of Walter Brown. This need not lead to the conclusion that Jane Bontron's maiden name is Parson, since, if Jane's mother is widowed, she could be using her maiden name. Jane Bontron's birth entry confirms that her parents were James Bontron and Janet (rather than Jessie) Pearson. It seems, also therefore, that Janet Pearson preferred to be called Jessie, since she was also living with Walter and Jane Brown in the 1881 Census under the name Jessie Pearson.
