Not seeing a marriage for James and Annie in Scotland, England or Wales.

Where did the 1911 census with James H Craighead go?

I think he was probably the James H Craighead who married Jane McK Forbes in Peterhead in 1886. Just wondering if James wasn't free to marry Annie in the first place?

I am trying to find any information on James Craighead Born about 1868 in Aberdeen. He married Annie Duncan Gordon 08/02/1873 Aberdeen date of marriage unknown. The 1901 Census say's they were living at 77 Clydesdale Road Byker Newcastle upon Tyne. They had 4 sons Duncan Gordon Craighead b.1901
Archibald Douglas Craighead b.1903 Livingston Craighead b.1904 & John Gordon James Criaghead b.1908. Annie Duncan Craighead emigrated to Australia with the boys about 1909/10 but cant find any record of James going to.
I have no record's of James parents or where he died or if he was divorced'
I would be grateful for any information that could be supplied
