Webmaster's notes:

I think I have found this family in the 1841 census where John is listed as a farmer at Nethermuir, New Deer. The entry shows the other children listed here as well as William and James (who is 1 day old and unnamed).
Details come from John's death register entry in GRO. John's parents are given as John + Martha Grieve [J8] of New Deer. The death was registered by Alex Strachan, son-in-law, which led me to Martha's marriage details on IGI?
Isabel Hay has found another daughter from this family. She wrote:

My husband's 2xg grandmother Jane Hacket,aged 79, widow of Robert Hacket, Blacksmith, d.30 Jan 1900 at Tollhouse, Tillyfourie, Monymusk. Her death cert. shows her parents to be John Mutch, Crofter & Carrier; Janet Mutch, ms Gibson. According to the censuses she was born in Peterhead between 1821-1823, although I have not found her baptism.

In 1851 along with Jane & Robert at Flushing, Longside, is her sister Mary Mutch, age 16, also b. Peterhead.

Isabel Hay has contacted the site again to share some recently found information, with sources (linked here), relating to Margaret Mutch, daughter of John Mutch & Janet Gibson (J73).
