Thanks for the replies diddy and manchester rambler - I meant the free church of scotland by fcs, sorry. Thanks also to ruskie; I forgot to mention he'd been living with a servant only in glasgow in 1911, and I couldn't find him at all in the 1901 scottish census, yet he was definitely described as a widower in his 1916 marriage certificate - any ideas in how to proceed anyone? Also the dunbeath heritage centre, Caithness had a family tree for us, added to by visitors as they come(as they do for many local families), and that said the marriage to euphemia mcghie was a 2nd one
