Adam and Maggie wed in 1896, no children listed 1911 census,
Maggie died 1920. Did they have children between 1911 and 1920

Where?

She'd have been a bit old to be starting a family after 1911.....but look for births at Scotlands people.

Hello Walter and welcome to the Community boards.




Note: I will let Walter know that he has replies to his query. :-)

Thank you to those who have done look-ups for Adam and Maggie. I will check for births between 1911 and 1920 where I found her death notice. I have also found a new marriage to Margaret Jacobsen in 1931. As Margaret was 40 I really don't expect any children from this union.
But again thank you for your info especially MarieCeleste

Walter - have now emailed you the WW1 pension records. He enlisted 1917 and was discharged 1918 and didn't appear to have any children up to that point.

Adam seems to have remained at the address on the pension records for a good long while, he is still there in 1956:

Thanks again Marie, I have a death notice for Adam dated 04/04/50. Margaret must have left his name on the telephone record for quite a while..
Thanks again, Walter
