Migrated to Scotland before 1841. Found on 1841 Census in Stevenston, Ayrshire and gives birthplace as Ireland. In later Cenuses in Ayrshire she says "born at sea" and "born in British colony" How to find out where she was born? Did wives accompany their husband if they were soldiers in the first half of 19th C?
I know her father was a soldier from Fanny's Death Certificate in 1893 in Saltcoats Ayrshire. Her mother was Margaret Docherty from same source. Her sister's Death Cert confirms that their father was Samuel Doak(e)
Her parents married in 1813 in Finvoy, Co. Antrim.
