James CAMERON & family at Blacksmiths,

|
|
mother
Ann CAMERON (WATSON) moved into a small cottage on Blairs Estate, with youngest
daughter only.
Janet's 2nd eldest brother James CAMERON
took over the smithy at Blairs from his father, and Janet remained there in the house
where she was born & brought up. |

living
in Berwick-upon-Tweed,
at 1 Wellington Terrace working as a cook for teh family of Alexander
ROBERTSON, an Iron Founder. Her brother John CAMERON & family
were living close by at 9 Bridge Street, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland.
She was aged 23 |
|
|
But strangely, in 1881 she was
working down in Berwick-upon-Tweed where her eldest brother
John CAMERON had a vet & farriers
practice. Now, working as a Journeyman Blacksmith in 1881 at Blairs Smithy is Magnus Rait WATT.
It seems likely that poor Magnus was felt to be unsuitable for Janet,
and |
| |
Moved to Blaenafon to find work as a Police Constable |

living at Blaenavon, Monmouthshire |
|

this is the reason why she was moved down to

Married on 11-Apr-1883 to Magnus Rait WATT at Abersychan Church

It
could also be the reason why
Magnus moved to South Wales, and why Janet and Magnus were married
in Monmouthshire in |
