Having difficulty in finding what happened to
William - was in 1841 census but not in 1851 with his parents, although could be out working.
Peter - death date? Can't find them in census. Died between 1877 and 1937. Wife Jane died in 1937 and was a widow. Peter was a tailor.
Jane - can't find her after 1861

Thanks

Thanks Rosie

The Dundee death is the right Peter.

Still can't see William or Jane anywhere.

Thanks Rosie. I did find that death. There was another child as well, Isabella Jane 1877-1880.

Margaret, the youngest daughter of Andrew jnr and Mary THOMSON went to Toronto. She married a chap called James DUGUID there in 1913. He was born in Auchterless so they may have known each other in Scotland. He had been in the Army in Scotland and when WW1 kicked off he re-enlisted in his old Regiment, but was KIA in France in October 1914. She never remarried and died in Ontario in 1965. Her oldest sister Mary Ann BISSETT went to Toronto in 1920 and lived with Margaret. She died in Toronto in 1942.

One thing I was wondering is how the name DUGUID is pronounced. Can someone help with this please.
