Hi, I've been trying to find marriage and death for Daniel Downie Smith, born 31st Aug 1870 in Greenock Renfrewshire Scotland. His Parenst were Daniel Smith & Margaret Downie, I've spent a fortune on Scotland's People recently, but still haven't found out what happened to Daniel. I've also searched in the rest of the UK without any luck, I'm starting to think he may have emigrated?
Any help or advise would be great please.
Many thanks.

Unfortunately, we are unable to display the accompanying images of this census at present, despite extensive negotiation with the General Register Office for Scotland. Permission from them has not, as yet, been forthcoming. For this reason, and to enable you to continue with your family history research, Ancestry has heavily transcribed the Scottish Census records to ensure you have access to all key areas of information contained within this collection

Has Margaret Remarried?

Hi, I've found him up to and including the 1891 census still in Greenock, this could be him on the 1901 in West Ham, I'll look in to it more, thank you so much for your help so far.
