Monica kindly looked up a family yesterday on 1901 census living at Clydebank Dunbartonshire.
James Haddow 33 ironturner b. Kilmarnock
Maggie Haddow 34 b. Mauchline Ayrsh
Bessie A Haddow 10, b. Kilmarnock
Andrew Haddow 7, b. Kilmarnock
Hugh Haddow 7, b. Kilmarnock
Alex A Haddow 5 b. Kilmarnock
James W haddow 11mon b. Clydebank Dunbarton
James Petersopn 37n lodger
William Templeton 29 lodger
James fits the age, place of birth & occupation with the James I am looking for. He also had two sons called Andrew & Hugh but they were born in Glasgow. He was widowed in 1897. I have checked on Scotlands People & Hugh & Andrew seem to be born in Glasgow none in Kilmarnock. I can't find a marriage for them around 1890 in Ayrshire. I would have thought they'd have been married in Kilmarnock if Bessie was born there.
Could anyone look them up on 1891 census please? I'm thinking perhaps they weren't married & some of the children were Maggies. I've found a marriage for a James Haddow & Margaret in 1899 in Dunbarton, perhaps I should get this certificate. If I can rule them out being together on the 1891 census. "My" James was still single then & living with his parents in Govan.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sue
