Janet became a pauper after the death of her husband, James. She had to apply to the Parochial Board for Relief of the Poor for money for food and rent. She was also given a stone of oatmeal. This continued until she took in a lodger, Angus Ferguson from Invernesshire, and they married in Dalmellington.
