What happened to Grace Colville?
« on: Monday 25 April 16 02:42 BST (UK) »
In the census of 1911 in Edinburgh,  David Colville aged 45 was  living with his wife Christina(nee Wilson previously Thomson) aged 51, their daughter Grace aged 8 and Christina's older brother aged 56.

I cannot find Grace on official records at all. I have searched Scotlands People and cannot find a birth or death for her anywhere or a marriage . I am stumped !

I couldn't see anything in emigration records either but my biggest problem is finding her actual birth.  I thought she may be an illegitimate grandchild?  I have also been searching for siblings but nothing either.

David and Christina married in 1895, both were single..a spinster and bachelor. Both David and Christina were illegitimate themselves...and I'm thinking she may have been adopted by them?

William died in Edinburgh in 1941, two years after his wife. He was living at 2 Crewe Crescent at the time. Confirmation was given at Edinburgh in September to their only son, a boy named Charles McIntyre Douglas, who had been born 10 months after the wedding.  The estate was valued at £241-4-4. Charles married Grace Russell or Colville in 1930 at Haymarket, Edinburgh

It would appear that my left eye was not working so early in the morning.     The marriage certificate has her sole parent as Elizabeth Colville.
