Brick wall overdue for demolition!!
« on: Sunday 11 June 17 11:00 BST (UK) »
Hi all

James White born in Partick in 1858 - son of James White and Ann McKay. I have seen his birth cert on SP.
He appears in 1861 and 1871 in Anderston, Glasgow aged 14. Then absolutely nothing after 1871!!

I cannot find him in any deaths or marriage index since then. I had thought that he may have died between 1871 and 1881 ... but no sign of him.

Can anyone help or should I just leave it at that?

Bill

Good Morning Bill.

Maybe you have already searched but is there any chance he went abroad? Have you found his parents in any census after 1871 or their death certificates - who registered the deaths?

I just put into search all the details that you gave and lots of entries came up....there are too many to list....it may be that none of them are relevant but worth a look. Like my family of Smiths and Browns a bit time consuming and lots of them haha. Good luck
