Hello Karen. I believe we have the same family history. Looking at your post from 2015, i can tell you that my grandmother is Maggie Swanson, the second child of John Swanson and Margaret Miller. I di have some information on the family if you are still interested. The youngest member of the family was Angus who was not born when the 1901 census was published. I am in touch with members from the family of James and Carrie. Uncle Angus never married and had no children. It would ne nice to be in touch with you and fill in other gaps in our family tree. Maggie left Scotland aged 15 and settled in Australia which is where I live.

Yes, I know Margaret's Maiden name was Miller.  I noticed on the 1901 census, the two oldest children are not mentioned, John and Maggie, John would have been 17 and Maggie 15, maybe they were out of the house and working.

My grandmother is Maggie. She left Wick around the age of 15 and after travelling via south africa spent the rest of her life in Australia. There was another son Angus who was the youngest of the family who was born after John and Maggie had left. I am in touch with the family of Carrie, James, angus.
