Notes for Elizabeth (Spouse 1)
There is another death of an Elizabeth Christie in 1831
16/12/1831 CHRISTIE ELIZABETH F FALKIRK /STIRLING 479/00 0437 but the one later, 1838, seems more likely and husband Robert remarried shortly after that in 1839.
Possible previous marriage although 1842 death below might suggest died as Elizabeth Henry & so not our Elizabeth. If this were the case she was not quite 16 when married so unlikely.

Notes for Janet (Spouse 2)
Janet has a ‘son’ James Sim living with her in 1851. He couldn’t be Janet’s son as he was born well after she married Robert Hudson and was a Sim. He still lived with her in 1861 but was recorded as a ‘son-in-law’. He couldn’t be a ‘son-in-law’ as he is too young and his surname being Sim might suggest he was a son of a brother of Janet’s first husband Campbell Sim. The only JAMES SIM found who might fit was as below. This is about the right date for his age 18 given in 1861 census but census gives birth location as Falkirk not KILLEARN which is some 40km from Falkirk.
