Im at a crossroads perhaps dead end and need help

1881 census hes born aberdeen.
Yes the prison record says dundee, which is a ?? but hes named as clarence too so think hes taken on a new identity.

my charles dalgetty stephens is born in aberdeen (followed victor to establish that connection as hes victor dalgetty stephen)  but clarence dalgetty as u say   states dundee on prison records but im sceptical as couldnt find any other "dalgetty stephens" other than charles

I can see that's a possibility for your Charles, but do you have any direct evidence that it is him? There's also Charles Stephen b 11 Aug 1868  to George Stephen and Elizabeth (nee McWilliam) in the Aberdeen area. I  can't see him  after 1881.

I have just reread my previous post and realised that I should have written that there is a marriage in Aberdeen Old Machar in 1886 between Charles Dalgety Stephen and Maggie Cooper Polson. I do think that it would be worth looking at this marriage cert.

Im trying to find this online on Ancestry, FindMyPast and Scottish people and cant, can you point me to where you found this so I can look at ordering the marr cert? thanks
