Lost Struthers Ayr

[carom]

1901 census has Alexander William Struthers b Glasgow 1852 solicitor, wife Jessie Jane nιe McCall b 1858 Tobago
and 4 children, aged from 20 down to a baby.
The eldest was Annie 20, who married my great uncle. The others were Gertrude18, Robert W 16,John A who attended his sister's wedding in Vancouver and George.
Having nothing better to do this afternoon I thought I would see what happened to the family.
Found nothing, not in 1911 census, no deaths of parents or marriages of siblings. Seems very odd?

There is a death registration for a Alexander W Struthers in Battersea London in 1932, (born 1852).

Neale and John,
Thank you both so much for all your efforts. My great uncle first went to Victoria BC in 1911,then returned to sign up for the British army in WW1, but returned to Victoria immediately afterwards. I didn't know that Annie Maud had been a nurse, perhaps that is how they met. I never really knew them although they  came back to the UK frequently until retiring here in 1950's. Your info has put flesh on the bones of what I knew.
