Janet Alice
It is interesting to find that the name Alice which appears among members of the Hart family and descendants was a surname.
It seems that she was born in 1743. Her father was Mr Ellis of Blairengone in Perthshire.
She married Rev. Andrew Mitchell, anti-burgher minister at Beith in Ayrshire in 1766, and had seven sons and three daughters, the youngest being our ancestor.

Janet Alice Millar
Janet Alice Millar was born in 1810 at Garscube Mills in Dunbarton, Scotland. Her father was a flour miller and her mother was the youngest daughter of an anti-burgher minister from Beith in Ayrshire. She was named after her maternal grandmother Janet Mitchell nee Alice or Ellis. It is interesting that this name has passed down female descendants without perhaps realising it was their ancestors' surname.
Janet Alice Millar married Robert Hart, a paper maker, in Glasgow in 1838. She had four daughters and five sons, her second daughter dying at 8 tears of age.
Two of her daughters married Steel brothers, Isabella going to Australia in 1871, not long before Robert Hart died. The two youngest sons went to India as tea planters but the youngest returned to Glasgow and lived with his mother. She died in 1881, five years after her husband. They are buried in the family plot at Craigton cemetery in Glasgow.
