It has been suggested that I post on the American board in the hope that you guys will be able to help.

I am looking into my 3x Great grand-uncle John Hogg who was born in born in Linton Roxburghshire and baptised at Morebattle Free Church on 17 December 1848.

His parents were William Hogg and Mary Waldie.

There is an marriage entry 1884 -  and a John Hogg marries Susie Backman on the 8th September 1884 in Manhattan, New York

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24SH-SJG

John’s parents are listed as Willam Hogg and Mary Waldie.
His birth place is Roxburghshire. The estimated birth year is out but it is an estimate. A pretty good match.

Susie Backman is listed as a widower and her parents are Oliver Abrams and Susie Syring. I think she was previously married to Albert Bachman - marriage date 29th June 1879.

There is a possibility that John Hogg left his wife (Jean Stewart) and young family and bigamously married Susie.

This John Hogg was a church missionary so travel may well have been part of his job. It seems likely John Hogg was involved with the John Knox Presbyterian Church in Newcastle. If this is the case, John would have left his family after 1882 when his third daughter was born or may have left when Jean Stewart was pregnant 1881.

I’d love to find something else on John Hogg and Susie Backman. So far I have found nothing other than the marriage.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Death of daughter Florence (married Henry Ziegler 27 October 1902) gives birth date of 14 June 1883, she died 30 July 1921. No children.

Fantastic thank you.

It’s interesting seeing all the names.
Living in Germany (Dudelsack is the German word for bagpipes) I recognise some of these names as of German origin.
Ziegler, Ferdinand Kauzler(?), Bachmann.
I would say this sounds like an Austrian/South German community (possibly even Jewish - Abrams?) in New York.

Ziegler - there is a chain of bakeries called Ziegler in Bavaria - think it has to do with brick making.

Bachmann - Bach means a stream or a burn as we would say in Scotland.

John Hogg seems a little out of place here. Especially if he is the Presbyterian missionary. But I guess New York has always been a melting pot of nationalities and beliefs.

Frustratingly, I’m travelling and away from my computer so won’t be able to chase all this up. My brain is already racing with this new information and thinking about new searches.

Thank you.

As Alberta was niece to John & Louisa perhaps John is related to Albert G
