1901 census lists in Grangemouth Frank P Carnegie, widower, 28, hotel keeper, born Dundee; son Frank P Carnegie, 2, born Edinburgh, and Ann Y Hamilton, mother-in-law, 74, born West Calder.

It's quite common for a hotel or innkeeper to be described as a wine and spirit merchant in a different document.

There's a marriage of Frank P Carnegie to Annie Y Hamilton in Edinburgh in 1896. Annie Young Carnegie, other surname Dickie, 29, died in Grangemouth in 1899.

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

This Covid lockdown is answerable for much!  Notice La Bruce is now an expert on Leonardo da Vinci !
That went straight over my head!

 Can anyone tell where Abbey House, Dumfries was back in the late 1930's and, is it still there today.
