The Annie who is with John Brown in the 1911 census had a daughter Minnie before she was with him. (Illegitimate). Their marriage IF it occurred would have been between 1909 and the census. Strangely they claim to have been married 10 years on census - this is very unlikely.  Could have been a convenient arrangement as they both had children.

I have the 1911 census and Jessie isn't with my family - I've not heard of her at all.

Thanks - I have that certificate - never managed to get any further with it and wonder if the deceased father was imaginary. No child with that fathers name in Scotland and no marriage for parents either.

I wonder if the marriage mentioned by Heatherjulie above to Ann York in 1909 was his too as he married at least three times to my knowledge. I hoped this marriage record might show a bit more detail about parents and witnesses.

Thanks that's a great help - I believe Thomas must have died before 1901 census and there is a possibility for a death for him. Still need to find out more about Doris but made a promising start. Looks like Mary Jane died after 1907. Are there any burial records online?

Laurina

Thanks for that Heather.

John married several times.  I've seen that record for John Brown but am not sure if it's the correct John. Mary Jane certainly dies/disappears at some point but I've been unable to find a death record for her.

Thanks for the baptism - I've been told that there is a record on a well known site that I don't have access to. It gives the baptisms for all the above children. I'm hoping someone can find this info. It would tell me when Mary Jane was still living.

I've tried general searches for Doris and Thomas Morton but can't confirm these without more info.

Hope someone can help.
