Thanks for endeavours with the Hugh element.  There are simply so many, usually four or five in every generation that we are putting them on the back burner as it were.  I believe James the chief mourner may have been the son of a cousin who had the same name as Hugh's the twins' father.  There is an Archibald Scott who had a son James married in 1915 and he resided at Portrush, but this would have been too young for Charles's son Archibald who was only in his teens then, but a possible relative.  Ancestry suggests Archibald married Geraldine in Toronto, so have contacted that tree holder.

 Think I was told that Geraldine was either 'foreign' or that she and Archie married somewhere foreign but never searched for their marriage. They did marry in Toronto but Geraldine was her middle name!
Send me your email address by PM if you want copy of the marriage.

30 Apr.1932 Toronto- bride Maisie Geraldine Craik born Scotland.

Added- Archie went to Canada 1928, returned on his own in 1934 (intended to settle in 'other parts of the British Empire.).

Aghadowey, thank you so much, this has made a seemingly impossible task look easy!

Lewis Scott was my mother-in-law's closest cousin.  She visited him in Lisbellaw with his wife Annie right up until I think Annie's death, he was Charles's son of Ballylame, went overseas and had come home.  We though we had him all accounted for.  Seemingly not!  I cannot find a birth reg for him, he shows on 1911 census as being aged 6.  The only birth I can find in Charles' family that we cannot account for is that of a Francis James born to Charlie and he then disappears, not even on census - he might have had a name change to Lewis.  A child born to Charles and his second wife later was called James.  I learned Lewis married a Martha Wallace in 1st Kilrea Pres Church 1926, so she must have died, and Annie seems to be his second wife.  I discovered on his father's obituary that he was living near Stewartstown in 1937 tying in with my mother-in-law talking about his burial at Brigh Presbyterian, I do not know when.  If anyone ever heard of this gentleman and can confirm my thoughts especially re name change, or know about the two wives would be very interested.

Thank KG, great news that we don't have to wait 100 years to see the marriages like the births!

Lewis was registered as Francis James (Francis was a McCullagh name) but his parents must have changed their mind-

I definitely have Charles listed in my family tree.  His wife's mother was also a Scott and sister to my gr-gr-grandfather Archibald Scott (from Swatragh).
