Hi Jool,

I don't have access to Ancestry at the moment.
Can you please post here the image from the 1901 Scotland census with just the name of the city "Whithorn, Russia" ?

I've posted in the Scottish section here: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,491040.0.html

Has returned some more details others may be interested in seeing, such as marriage records.

Hi Mike, Unfortunately there are no original images for Scottish census records on Ancestry, just a transcript, so Whithorn may have been mistranscribed or misunderstood by the enumerator.  I have googled Whithorn and come up with nothing in Russia.

According to the Naturalisation record Jared found, he was born in Libau (which was also known as Liepaja, but this doesn't sound much like Whithorn either).

Hi Jool,

That's why I asked for original image. Whithorn is not a Russian name. It can be Whitehorn (direct translation from Russian into English), but also no such settlement in Russia.

As for Philip's birth - according to Jared he was born Libau (Liepaja in Latvia today), in other source I have seen "near Odessa" - Ukraine today. But also this Whithorn - I cannot find Russian equivalent.

If we could locate Josephs' arrival in Scotland, we may be able to trace back yeah?
