« on: Wednesday 23 September 15 13:03 BST (UK) »
Stumped!    trying to find death of Janet Haig Mitchell born 20 Sep 1875, St Boswells, Roxburgh to James Mitchell and Margaret Muir.    She married a Charles Edward Bass in 1906 in Dirlton, Midlothian, but can find no trace of her after this.    She had a daughter Mary Margaret Paterson Mitchell in 1904 (no father recorded on BC)     This dau was adopted by Janets cousin Alexander Paterson.    Found her in 1881 census  but no further

Hi ,

How old was Charles Edward Bass when he married Janet Haig Mitchell ?
Can't see a Ch* Bass in Scotland in 1911.
