Whow Sandra thank you so much that's great all this information Beatrice's husband was
only 32 when he died in Scotland I wondered if she had married again.
I don't think Ann's husband went with them haven't found a death in Scotland for him yet .

Thank you Sandra and RJ137 for all this information
I have a wee bit extra to add that I have found myself ;D ;D
William Porteous husband of Annie Forsyth died in 1898 in Midlothian he was 57 years old.
I also discovered in my notes another two children to them
William born in 1888 in Midlothian on family search I found his marriage to Jessie Elizabeth Isles on 1st July 1916 in Warren Ohio and his death on 11th Feb 1963 .
They had a son William D Porteous who died in November 2006
I have searched for a daughter of William and Annie's born on 8 July 1883 in Midlothian
Euphemia Porteous no middle names and no death or marriage for her in Britain.
Could she possibly have gone with them ?
Thanks once again

It appears Euphremia never married and died in 1916. The last name was messed up on the transcription of her death record... "Partrons"
