Notes for Jane Ann (Jean) Webster
1901 Census says she was born in Aberlemno and was age 24 (born about 1877), but no birth of a Webster could be found for that parish for that age. However, her death in 1930, with married name Low indicates she was born about 1873. A birth for Jane Ann Webster was found in that parish for 1873.

Birth registration says “illegitimate” and father not named. Registered at both Aberlemno and Montrose.

There appears to be some conflict in records as to the exact identity of this Jane Ann Webster.
Notes for John Low (Spouse 1)
John, son of Margaret Low and Alexander Guthrie was born 19 November 1872 at Logie Pert, Angus, where he was raised. In 1891 he was a blacksmith living with his parents at Logie Pert. Later he was a qualified engineer. He was an equal partner with his brother Joseph (ID=80) at Craigo Forge, Logie Pert. His chief hobby was shooting, for which he received many prizes.

On 17 June 1897 John married Jane Ann (Jean) Webster at Montrose.

John, who died at Angus on 7 February 1919, and his wife, who died 12 February 1930, were buried at Sleepy Hillock cemetery near Montrose. The gravestone is inscribed:
