Sorry Alex. I screwed up there. Henry James Amos married Mary Thomson.15mar 1841. On 5 Oct 1857 she married Robert Herbertson.By the 1861 census Mary Thomas should have been living with Robert Herbertson. Haven't found that one yet. I believe I found Mary Amos (Thomson) on the 1851 census st St Cuthbert with children Margaret age 9, Jean age 6 and Dd.Hw. age 4. Mary was then a widow, with the birth place of Libberton, Lanarkshire which is correct.
If the death you found for Jessie Amos or Murray is correct with the birth date of 1853, this would agree with the informtion on her marriage certificate. of which I have a copy. However,by 1853, her mother Mary Amos (Thomson) was listed as a widow on the 1851 census. Confusing family.
Thanks for the leads.
