Looking for Jessie Helen Muller/Miller

[loobylooayr]

Hi,

I'm trying to find out what happened to my great-great grandmother's younger sister Jessie Helen Dorman who married Hermann Muller/ Miller.
Jessie Helen was born in Leswalt, Wigtownshire, Scotland on 26th Aug 1863. She married Hermann Miller in Glasgow on 9th December 1884.
Thanks to Rootschatters, I know that the couple lived for a time in Leith (Edinburgh) where Hermann had a hairdressers business.

However it appears by the 1891 Census the couple had re-located to London.
Registration district - Paddington

Hermann Muller  Head   age 30  Hairdresser      born Frankfort Germany  (Frankfurt)
Jessie Muller       Wife    age 25                         born Edinborough, Scotland ( Edinburgh)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:3TDV-WZM
I know the ages are a bit out and Jessie's place of birth is wrong but I'm sure this is Jessie Helen Dorman and her husband.
Then in Jan 1892 Hermann Muller appears to sail in New York - he is travelling alone.

So what happened to Jessie Muller (m.s.Dorman) ? Did she die? Find another man? Or did she follow Hermann to America?
I can't find any trace of Jessie after 1891 Census.
Please note, to avoid duplication,  I already have details of Jessie's early life and her parents and siblings.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for reading.

FreeBMD has a marriage:
Sep qtr 1896 Hackney vol 1b p1208 - on same page Jessie Helen MILLER, Antoinette CHAMPION, William PETTIT, William James REGAN.
This could be worth checking further.

I had a quick look on FamilySearch to see if I could find a Jessie born in Scotland 1860-65 on the 1901 census - there were over 1500 hits but no obvious Dorman, Miller, Muller, Pettit, or Regan matches.

If it helps, it looks like William James Regan married the Antoinette.

The Jesse H Miller/Pettit was aged 24 in 1901 and not born in Scotland.

Nice!  I hadn't found that.  Well, that means we don't chase a red herring.

Thanks for looking Phillip and Keyboard 86.
What a pity it's not my Jessie!.
She and Hermann are proving to be an elusive couple after the 1891 Census.
