David Jolly returned to Scotland on the "Doric", arriving Glasgow from Montreal on 17 Aug 1929. He was going to: 1 Fore Street, Johnshaven, Montrose. He was 37, a welder who had been resident in USA.
Thanks but unfortuately, this is not my David he went out with Arthur in May 1913 but returned to Scotland not long after. He signed his wife's death certificate in Montrose in 1925. David Jolly was a mason as was Robert. David dies the same year as Davidina.
Davidina - I love that name and hope I've inherited some of her longevity genes. Died in 1940 still living at 35 Ferry Steet Montrose - a pokey wee hole of a place. Mabel (3rd youngest) signed the certificate. By 1943 five of her sons will be dead leaving only Arthur and Charles unaccounted for. Agnes the oldest daughter dies in 1949 age 78 and Mabel in 1980 age 93...perhaps soon I'll find out where and when their sister Anne died.
So, Walter and Anne(?) in Australia. Never had to go there before....Arthur in Canada with wife Elizabeth Dakers and son Robert, Anne (or at least Walter for the moment) in Australia and Charles still missing. I think from Scotmum's link there can be no doubt it's the correct Walter (thank you middle name fairy and Scotmum!)...
Can't believe in a couple of days I found Robert's death by a fluke on LDS and now have a lead on Anne.
Thanks
