On this census he is also showing up as "Married", although no wife nor children are shown residing with him. Grandpa is said to have been born in Glasgow, 1854, and I have no idea when he relocated to Essex, England although his younger brother is showing up residing in the same household with him. > > In 1884/5 he came here to America alone. In 1890 he marries here and they have a large family, and he died in 1909. Of course, there never was any mention in our family that he may have been married previously! > > I cannot locate any marriage data on him in any online database or indexing, nor can I locate any divorce data on the National Archives website. I am at a total loss at the moment where to go next or what should be checked. I have no idea when he came to Essex, only that family lore states both brothers were of legal age when they left Scotland. In 1881, his younger brother was 20. > > As you can see, I am at a total loss on this fellow at the moment and any direction anyone can give me would be much appreciated! > > Sue > > > ==== SCOTLAND Mailing List ==== > To contact the list administrator, or to unsubscribe, or to view > the list archives, or for other information about this list, visit the > list web page at http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/SCT/SCOTLAND.html > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
