Ok, I've got a tricky one for everyone.
It is a family puzzle but last night i dreamt about it so i thought i might try making more effort to find out what went on!
My great granpa was told that his mum had died and it was not till he was older that he was told the truth, that she had run away with the lodger
I have found the family in 1901 but i can't find out what happened to my great great granny.
I'll give you the facts that I have:-
James Campbell Harris, born 1870, ayrshire.
Elizabeth Tennant, born 1870 in Glasgow.
His paarents were Andrew harris and barbara Campbell.
her parents were James Blackie tennat and Jessie Main.
James and Elizabeth were married in 1893 in Glasgow.
There children were Elizabeth T tennant, (1892 - 1893)
Andrew Harris (my great granpa ) 1895 -
james Harris 1897 -
They were all born n Glasgow.
James Campbell Harris died in 1945 in Milngavie, on his death certificate, I can see that he remarried (possibly bigamously) to Helen Clark.
In 1901 the family are living at 5 Holmhead Terrace, cathcart, renfrewshire.
Their lodger is 23 year old david Crawford, a butcher.
I am assuming this is the infamous lodger, but i have no evidence for this.
Please, please, please coujld I have help with this one, i would love to know where my great great granny had gone, i know it will be hard ebcause she may have changed her name, but i would really love to know!
Caroline
