hello, im new to this forum. wonder if anyone can help me find out where and when my gg grandparents died. I have unsuccessfully tried thm on the census and after 1901 they seem to have disappeared! one of their sons was Peter Mclaren who settled in Kirkcaldy and lived on Dunniker rd. The gg grandparents were Peter and Christina and at one point they stayed in Newburgh(1881) but were from Logierait Perthshire. Any help would be fab. Thank you.

Not sure why Diddy chose 1913-1927. A Peter McLaren, husband of Christina (m.s.Mclaren as well) died died Southbank, Forfar, July 14 1892. He is listed as Innkeeper 48 years old, widower of Christina. Informant son David. I think this is the correct Peter. Peter Mclaren, Balnacree, Logerait, married Christina McLaren, Drunzie, Orwell, 17 Dec 1875 in the Salutation Hotel, Perth. Peter, farm servant son of David Mclaren, mason, and Catherine Reid. Christina daughter of John McLaren, farmer, and Christian Robertson. Christina McLaren, wife of Peter, innkeeper died March 13 1892 in Forfar. Informant husband Peter. Both died of Phthisis pulmonalis (tuberculosis). Hope I've got the correct McLarens.

Hello Diddy
I understand. My first reading of the first post was the same as you then I wondered if the "after 1901" might mean not found in that census. Not sure why! I then looked at post 1890 and came up with the above. Call it serendipity.
Cheers
Dod

Well thats just so sad, a big thank you to you guys. Im kind of upset for them as Peter was only 6 when he lost his parents and not sure what became of his siblings. What happened to him between the age of 6 and 15 I wonder?? Poor man, that sad. Also Alexander? what would have happened to him?

There is an Alexander S.H. (rather than S.R. quoted above) of the correct age in 1901 Census. He is living with his uncle Alexander McLaren who matches for age the oldest of 10 children, listed on OPR C113767 for Logierait, born to David McLaren and Catherine Reid i.e. Peter's brother. The uncle, Alexander, is a farmer and grazier (?) in Logierait. Alexander Samuel Robertson Mclaren, 35, farmer, died of tuberculosis in Logierait on January 31st 1922. Married to Margaret MacGregor. Informant cousin Peter McLaren.
For information on the inns this is probably not the best Forum. Try Forfar etc.

thanks for reply Dod, what a great help and what a sad story. Perhaps Alexander (Peter snr brother) brought up the youngest children ? Im facinated to find out what happened to the young Peter between this time (of parents death) and to when I found him on his marrige cert to Isabella Cairns. His address was Union st Dundee, but at some time settled in Kirkcaldy. Iv been told by family that he was a special constable but having tried web sites have found no info... any ideas? thanx again.

Alexander SR was the only nephew listed with widower Alexander, his 2 sons, 1 daughter and 2 servants in 1901. I haven't followed it up (out of credits) but there is a 16 year old Peter C McLaren in 1901 Census in St Mary, Dundee. If it is him it won't tell you the whole story but may add some clues. There are 4 other Peter McLarens of correct age in 1901 Census, 2 in Edinburgh and 2 in Perthshire .

Bad guess by me to suggest the Dundee location in 1901. Looks like the correct Peter (born Couper Angus 15y/o scholar) was with an aunt Jessie McLaren (58 y/o single b. Pitarough, Perth ?Pitarro?), a lodging house keeper in Dundas Street Edinburgh. This is almost certainly Jane McLaren b. 7 Nov 1846 to David McLaren and Catherine Reid in Logierait.

So peter Jnr was in Dundas St with aunt Jessie? Im not sure where Jane comes in to the story.. maybe iv read it wrong. That would make Jane Peter snr sister, but aunt Jessie was Alexanders wife? and Alexander was Peter older Brother. Did he too stay in Edinburgh? Im sure I had him as a farmer/ grasier. I just asumed he had a bit land .So much info just trying to piece all the parts together.

My reading of it is that Peter was in Edinburgh with his aunt Jessie. Jessie is common Scottish diminutive of Jane. She was the unmarried (single on 1901 Census) daughter of David McLaren/Catherine Reid (Jane McLaren born 1846 - OPR C113767) and so sister of Peter snr. That doesn't preclude there being another aunt Jessie, the wife of Alexander. Alexander snr., in 1901 Census, was widowed farmer in Logierait, Perthshire who was housing his young nephew Alexander, as mentioned in my earlier post.
