Agnes Robertson McKellar nee McMillan b1883 missing from 1911 Census Greenock

[olduser1]

So far unable to locate the wherabouts of Agnes Robertson McKellar on the 1911 Census, Agnes R McMillan b1883 in Gatehouse of Fleet  married Alexander McKellar in 1906 in Greenock [ 18 Wellington St ] they had 2 children, Jessie McMillan McKellar b 1907 at Gatehouse and Margaret Brown McKellar b 1910 also at Gatehouse at their Grandmothers house.
When I looked for the family I cannot find the husband Alexander b 1880 Greenock nor Agnes and Margaret.
I did locate Jessie at her Grans in Gatehouse on 1911 Census.
I also traced the F John  & M Jane Mckellar but no Alexander still living in 18 Wellington St Greenock
I wondered if Agnes & little Margaret could have been in hospital, if that was the case would they have bee inculeded on the Census?

Hi olduser

I struggle to find them too for you  Can't see anything obvious for them either in England or Ireland for 1911.

People in hospitals and other institutions are recorded in the censuses.

Monical, thanks I thought I was missing something.
Maybe there's a return missing.
I'll keep on searching & let the forum know

I know Agnes's husband Alexander McKellar b abt 1880 in Greenock died in WW1, the war memorial has an entry for Alexander McKellar Shipmaster Transport Services.
How would I go about finding more about this  ?

This might help...

From Wills & Testaments on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk:

Alexander MACKELLAR - 03/09/1918 - MASTER MARINER, 17 BRISBANE STREET, GREENOCK, D. 08/09/1917 AT HAVRE, FRANCE, INTESTATE. @ GREENOCK SHERIFF COURT   SC53/41/26

He died without making a will (intestate). Not sure, as it is not showing, what type of document it might be . 5 pages showing for the document.

Thanks for your speedy reply.
I'll have another look at the family papers as well as at SP

Maybe another birth here ?(following the possible lead from the address):

McKELLAR 1913 A son to Mr & Mrs Alex McKellar born at 8
Brisbane Street, Greenock on 28th July 1913
(Greenock Telegraph 29.7.1913)
www.inverclyde.gov.uk/Search/?k=streets&d=1&r=56721&page=16&&v=1


The housing in Brisbane Street looks to have been there some time. These photos might be interesting http://jane-firthofclyde.blogspot.co.uk/2009/10/greenock-brisbane-street-2.html  Streetview also also 8 Brisbane Street (assuming it wasn't renumbered along the way...and I am right that these properties look to have likely been there around the 1910s).

  Two Alexander McKellars showing in Brisbane Street on the 1915 Valuation Rolls.

1915   Tenant Occupier    - Alexander MACKELLAR - HOUSE NO 17 BRISBANE STREET   GREENOCK, GREENOCK BURGH   VR36 / 71 / 676  This is the address showing on Wills & Testaments on SP

1915   Tenant Occupier - Alexander MACKELLAR - HOUSE NO 8 BRISBANE STREET   GREENOCK   GREENOCK BURGH   VR36 / 71 / 687 This is the address showing for a birth in 1913.

If you look at these, hopefully the occupation of the Alexander will help...
