Jannet married Alexander MOWAT Weaver, son of Alexander MOWAT and Margaret CANNY, before 13 November 1726.¹ (Alexander MOWAT Weaver was baptised on 16 August 1674 in Prestonpans parish, East Lothian, Scotland.)

  Marriage Notes:

No marriage record for Alexander Mowat and jannet Bower has been found in the Scottish old parish registers.

The baptism of their son Thomas is in the Prestonpans parish registers, so a lawful marriage must have taken place before November 1726, as the baptism narrative does not indicate any irregularity:
