Janet was born on the 7th June 1905. The only photo we have appears to have been taken on the occasion of her mother’s death in 1910. She was at 45 Muir Street, Hamilton Scotland.
The daughter and only child of William Linton and Jeanie (Jane) Jack, she was step sister to William Alexander Hannah, Agnes Baird Hannah and Catherine Hannah. She was apparently known to her family as “Jessie”.
The 1911 census shows her living with her father and step siblings at 45 Muir Street.
Janet married Peter McGuire (Blacksmith) sometime between 1927 and 1940, when she witnessed her fathers death registration. As no marriage registration has been found they possibly married outside Scotland.
Peter appears to have been born in 1900, and died age 72 in Glasgow in 1972.
There was at least one child to the marriage; Jean McPherson McGuire born 1939 in Milton. She married John Gowans in 1958 and died in Bridgeton, Glasgow in 2013. No other children have been identified.
Janet died in 1977 aged 73 years cause of death bronchopneunomia and congestive heart failure. The death information was provided by her daughter Jean. (1)
No other information is available to date. The only other reference available publicly is her fathers death registration in 1940. At that time she gave her address as 10 Monteith Place, Glasgow.
(1) Recorded in Glasgow (Martha Street) district, reference 609/396.
