I found the death record of Rachel Mutch (Skene) on Scotlands People. This lists her as widow of George Mutch, Blacksmith. The informant was Wlliam Ogston, son-in-law, and this led me to daughter Elizabeth’s wedding details.

The census for 1851 shows Rachel and Elizabeth sharing Hillhead, Esslemomnt with several other Skene housholds, which might be siblings and their families. Rachel is listed as a Widow. The 1861 census is similar but lists their address as Hillhead of Chapelhall.

Rachel’s birth year is approximate and is taken from the census records.
