Biography:
STOTHERT, Janutus (b 1771: ancestry.co.uk)
Although the name suggests a pseudonym, it belonged to a real historical person, the son of James Stothert (or Stothart) and his wife Jean Little. Janutus, whose name is given as Jannetus in his baptismal record, was born in Dumfries, Dumfriesshire, on 25 July 1771 and baptised on 31 July. Very little is known about him but he must have married; the 1841 Census shows him living with a son and his family in Dumfries. Ancestry suggests a death date of 1847 but this has not been confirmed. He published no other books. (ancestry.co.uk 15 May 2025; findmypast.co.uk 15 May 2025) SR
