Find Ancestors

Im looking for William Menzies. He was born in Scotland on 28.2.1871 to James Menzies and Jane Earsman.
My elderly aunt seems to think there was a family scandal and he went to live abroad, I cant find any trace of him. Please can anyone help

thank you nicky

He's on the censuses up to 1901, you need Scotlands People for the 1911 census

There a marriage on scotlandspeople for a William Menzies to a Catherine 1898 Stirling

Thanks Maura, this could be him. The Roman Catholic wife is interesting because Williams brother was a Church of Scotland minister.
