He born Glasgow Lanark, Elizabeth & the 2 girls born Morefield Forfar . Living 24, Nairn Street, Kelvinhaugh, Glasgow South - this on an Ancestry tree

REALLY ODD - they had been married 14 years and had 7 children!! Fishmonger could just be a mistake . Ages about right. Think she meant she had 6 children and none had died- but,.... where are the children?? , and she actually had 7 by 1911! . Also her birthplace & that of Agnes & Bella ( & these not sisters- there was Annie~ 1887 & Janet ~1890) wrong!

Have (Joan &) I got the wrong couple?? . & I myself can not find these 2 parents together on SP 1911 census!!

Once home in November 2019- I need to contact Joan Robertson, see if she has now found any of the children
