Christian Hewat, Widow of Francis

I finally found the last census for Christian Forsyth Hewat right where she had lived most of her married life.  Her surname appears as Hewit.

1881 Census Scotland - Nisbet Loanhead, East Lothian

James Hewit, 51, b. 1831, Blacksmith
Christine Hewit, 80, mother
Thomas Sked, 18, b. Dunbar, Apprentice
Elizabeth Sked, 16, b. 1865, Tranent, E.L.. female servant,

After his mother's death, we find James in the 1891 census in Bolton, E.L. on the Eaglescairne Mains Farm.

James Hewat, 62, living on own means, retired blacksmith

Janet Hewat, 57, b. 1834 Salton, Haddingtonshire, blacksmith's wife
