Hi everyone
I am trying to find more information, particularly death information, for my stepbrothers paternal great grandfather.
Albert Ewan Miller was born in Glasgow 8 Nov 1891 to William Miller and Jane Ewing/Ewan McGillivray. He married Theresa Smith in 1913 in Darlington, County Durham where she was from. From what I can tell he moved there for work as was in the 1911 census in Durham as a slaters labourer. They had 4 children (at least) Thomas in 1917, Mary in 1928, John Thomas in 1930 (my stepbrothers grandfather) and George in 1935. All born in Durham.
What exactly happened in the following period is unknown, somehow the two younger boys ended up in ?foster care in Tiree, Argyll. Theresa died in Annan, Dumfries in 1950, unclear why she was there but Albert registered the death so presumably they were living there by then?
However, I cannot find any death certificate for Albert in Scotland nor anywhere else and I am a bit stumped where else to look and would like to tie this part up before going on to the other mysteries!
any help much appreciated
thanks, Aileen
