Just some further information on James Boston Forbes and a request for more help .
James may not be the person in America on the 1930 Census as that person is listed as a packer at a bakery and James was a Engineer. That James was married to a Florence and had a daughter Florence and he is still there in 1940. But anything is possible with James .
In 1909 James married first in Scotland Annie Fairweather Purdon and they had 1 daughter who died 1910--can not find other children . But they are later divorced . ( Report in the Scotsman 21/7/1920 page 7) On the ww1 Pension Ledgers he is listed as a Chief Engineer and kok is a Jessie Forbes but I can not find a Marriage cert.
James dies in New Zealand 4/6/1941--he certainly travels. On 1940 ships record to new Zealand he is travelling with jessie--and the address they give in Uk is north House,Upton Newark . this is the home of his sister Annie who married Thomas Abbott.
So grateful for any information and I wonder if there were any other children.
many Thanks
