Jane Binning USHER

Born: 6 Apr 1859, Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland ⁵
Marriage (1): John Herbert WATSON on 2 Mar 1882 in Newington, Edinburgh ¹ ²

bullet Another name for Jane was Jean.

bullet General Notes:

Where Janes middle name of "Binning" comes from is unclear. When she married in 1882 a witness was Charles A. Binning and when her sister Elizabeth Stewart Usher married St. Clair Cunningham in 1885, one of the witnesses was Norah Binning.

bullet Noted events in her life were:

• On 14 Jul 1897 she resided at Arthur Lodge, Dalkath Road, Edinburgh. ⁴

Jane married John Herbert WATSON, son of William WATSON and Mary MATTHEWS, on 2 Mar 1882 in Newington, Edinburgh.¹ ² The marriage ended in divorce. (John Herbert WATSON was born on 6 Aug 1858 in Hedon, Yorkshire, England.)

bullet Marriage Notes:

The 1956 Usher book sites Jane Binnings first husband as William Watson which is wrong.
