David and Isabella were married in St Ucan’s church, Collace. This unusual name is thought to be an Anglicization of St. Ewan or St. Eoghan. It is also thought that no such saint ever existed. The marriage is recorded in the Old Parish Records:

St Ucans Church 2000

O.P.R. Perth, Collace (340) Smart David and Isabella Innes both in this parish after due proclamation of the banns of marriage: were married in the manse by the Revd. Mr. Rodgers the 19th day of July 1823.

The births of three children, Andrew, Robert and Jean, are also recorded:

Perth, Collace. 4 Jan 1824 Andrew , son of David Smart and Isabel Innes his spouse was born at Collace on 20th Dec 1823 and bapt. On the 4th Jan 1824 in the face of the congregation by Mr. Rogers

Perth Collace 17 Jun 1827 Robert, son of David Smart and his spouse Isabel Innes born at Collace on 25th May 1827 & bapt. the 17 June following in the face of the congregation by Revd Mr. Rogers.

Perth Collace 30 Jan 1830 Jean, dau. to David Smart & his spouse Isabel Innes was born at Collace 25 Jany 1830 & bapt. in her fathers house on the 30th of the same month by the Rev Mr. Rogers.

John Rodgers was first assistant then encumbrant at St Ucan’s from 1800 – 1851. From 1838 – 1843 Andrew Bonnar was assistant then successor to Mr. Rodger. At the Disruption, Bonnar left to establish the Free Church at Kinrossie and his place was taken by James Laing.

In 1841 the address given in the census was simply “Collace”:

Thirteen-year old Robert is missing. At this age he could well be working, perhaps, in view of later information, as an agricultural labourer. The other major source of employment in the parish was the quarry on Dunsinane Hill, although this was probably so close that he would have lived at home. All the Collace census books have been checked and he is not in that district. Similarly his whereabouts in 1851 is unknown:

Nothing is known about the family for the next ten years, then the 1851 census gives the following information: 1851 Census Collace, Perthshire (340) book 1 page 8 The headings for the columns in the census are: Name, Relationship to head of house (h = head, w = wife, s = son, d = daughter etc.), male/female, age, trade or profession and Place of birth.

Village of Collace David Smart h m 50 crofter Perth Kettins Esibella Smart w m 54 Perth, Errol Jean Smart d u 21 H.L.W. Perth, Collace (Esibella is the spelling given by the enumerator).

On 19th December 1856 Jane Smart married Robert Miller. This branch of the family subsequently farmed at Madderty, which is between Perth and Crieff.

By1861 David is described as a pendicler. Most village cottages had a pendicle attached: a long strip of land, between 3 and 10 acres. Part of this would be home to the family’s pig, possibly a cow and certainly hens. The remainder would grow food for family and animals, any surplus being sold. Hens supplied eggs, meat, and feathers for stuffing pillows, the cow provided milk and butter. Any calves would be fattened for sale. The pig re- cycled household waste and when the time came would be slaughtered, the meat being cured in brine before being hung up to dry and for storage. Many of the village houses retained their strips of land well into the 20th century.

The houses were fitted with box beds that were built into the walls. These were much shorter than modern beds and the adults would sleep in a sitting position. (Possibly because of the prevalence of chest complaints.)

In 1861 Robert is present as a labourer and there are two others described as servants, although one of these is also described as a scholar.
