Immigration records to Scotland early 1900s

[Rena]

I found the Alien Record, which also included his photograph of my gt. grand father in the Yorkshire Police Archive.

As a European mainland Immigrant Alien, arriving in this country 1856 aged ten,  he had to report to the police every day, even though his four sons served in the First world War.  He died 1942 aged 86.  He had an English wife who became an Alien the minute she married him.

Thank you Rena - that's a really helpful pointer. I will make attempts to contact the local Council archives and Police archives. My GGF will have definitely been registered as an 'Alien' as he was interred during WW2.

No, he was not "interred" during WW2! Interred = buried! The word is "interned"

Good spot, eilthireach. It's a very common error - on a par with Ordinance Survey for Ordnance Survey - nothing like getting off-topic
