I have added more detailed information - please look at the end of the post
Hello All, I am rather new to this and have hit a dead end with my great grandfather, James Miller. In Liverpool in 1901 he was living with his wife, Catha(e)rine, lots of children (including 1 month old twin daughters) and in 1911 the twins were dead (died 1901), his son Anthony (my GF) was in a workhouse and his wife was in another workhouse where she says she is a widow. I have bought the death certificate of a James Miller who died in 1901, but I am no further forward. The only birth for a James Miller in the right timeframe is July 1860 in Auchtergaven, Perth where the father's name is given as George Miller and the mother Betsy Bell. When James married my GG Grandmother he gave his father's name as James. Another James Miller of the right age turns up in other census results, living as an apprentice with Walker and Margaret Scott. No mention of parents. I am absolutely baffled. If anyone can help me shine a light on this I will be very grateful.
