Hi Mistycat - is there a chance they could have gone back to Scotland?

You could check the Scottish 1911 on Scotland's People.

Hi Mike, Thank you

Had seen 1891 re William...

I know all info on both sides of the family but you know, it never entered my head they may have gone to Scotland !!!!!!!

Hi MarieCeleste

Why it never entered my head re Scotland, goodness only knows!

I dont have access to Scotland's People.....

I wonder if someone who does, would take a look for me please

You need to credits to check the 1911 census on Scotlandspeople

Could do a free search to see if any results

Thanks GlitterBaby

Will take a look now...

Doing a free search does give possible matches for William,John, and William but nothing for Caroline

No way of knowing at the moment if the 3 are together or even the right family

Yes also getting a hit for a possible Caroline

Done it....bought credits

It's them....along with another "missing" person

Thank you

For info, my Aunt used to threaten me (when I was naughty as a child) with being sent to the local orphange for Mary Springham to sort me out. We lived in Port Glasgow so I guess Mary was the head honcho at the orphanage. It was called Langlands Park Orphanage as I recall. Hope this is of interest.

Hello Elliot....apologies for slow response I have only just seen your post...

Thank you, how very interesting......I wonder if she really was the formidable character your aunt portrays or just a way of keeping her nephew in check ....tee hee

May I ask, do you have any other memories of the Springham family...I would love to hear them and most grateful for any information.
