ID # 7761, (1801-1886)
BaptismJean Tweedie was baptized in November 1801 at Lanarkshire, Scotland. 
MarriageShe married James Watson on 1 November 1822 at Muirkirk, Ayr, Scotland.
The 1861 census in Peel Township, Wellington County, shows James and Jane Watson and tells that they were married in 1822. Add to that, the gravestone for the firstborn of James and Jane, William Watson, which is to be found in Hollen Cemetery, Maryborough Twp., Wellington County, shows him as a native of Muirkirk, Ayr, Scotland, as does his baptism information.

Another marriage record exists for a James Watson and Jean Tweedie in Douglas, Lanark, Scotland, dated October of the same year, but with the Muirhead connection reasonably well recorded this seems to be the correct marriage record, which is a transcription as provided by Familysearch:
