(Ironically her biological grandchild Daniel McDonald uses the Lowsen middle name for his child Andrew Lowsen.which is also found in the Ritchie genealogy. ) . On her death certificate she is listed as July. In 1841 Census she is living in her son, John's house. And listed as Gilly Pegget. She is living in 1851 Census in Dundee's second district which is where her daughter Margaret Crockett Adamson also lives. Julia is listed as a book store worker. She has two boarders whose names are not easy to make out. She is listed as 66 years old in 1851 making her born around 1785. She lists her birth place as Carmyllie in Angus/ Forfarshire.
