Hello,
Bridget's father, Thomas Hoggan, wasn't with the family on the1871 Census. The transcription doesn't say whether Ann is a widow or not, but there is a death for a Thomas Hoggan age 46yrs. in 1870 at Dunfermline.
1881. 24 Pittencrieff St., Dunfermline.
Ann Hoggan 56.
John " 27 Beamer Linen Factory.
Elizabeth " 14 Linen Weaver.
Thomas " 13 All born Dunfermline.
1891. 10 Pittencrieff St., Dunfermline.
Robert Cunningham 27 Cloth Beetler.
Betsy " 24.
Robert " 5.
Thomas " 3.
Ann Hoggan 65 Mother-in-Law. All born Dunfermline.
1901. 10a Pittencrieff St., Dunfermline.
Betsy Cunningham 24? Weaver, Linen Factory. (Age may be transcription error for 34)
Robert " 15 Hair Dresser Apprentice.
Thomas " 13 Watchmaker Apprentice.
Ann Hoggan 75 Mother.
(Betsy Morn Hoggan born 1st May 1866 at Dunfermline. Dau of Thomas Hoggan & Ann Heggie. Likely marriage: Betsy Hoggan & Robert Cunningham, 28th Aug,1885 at Dunfermline.)
The new ScotlandsPeople website is worse than useless. Can no longer search for the death of a married woman using married name & maiden name together. Surnames Hoggan & Heggie are not all that common in Fife & Dunfermline not all that big so searched for Ann Hoggan then Ann Heggie separately. There were 3 deaths for name Ann Hoggan in Dunfermline between 1901 & 1925 and only 1 for Ann Heggie which was a perfect match, age, year & ref no. to one of the Ann Hoggan deaths. (Died 1908, age 82yrs. Ref No: 424/ 179)
Regards, Dod.
