Hi Stuart
that's them. Do you still think it's the same family - even though the father's name has changed from James to John?
Thanks, Lou
Thank you Andysmum.

Hi Stuart, Wow, thanks for finding the boys.
I also found James (nephew) living with an aunt and wondered the same thing,.
It's good to know you've also found them, gives me hope that I'm on the correct trail. It never occurred to me to look for the boys I just assumed they had died. The business with the christian name change for the father from John / James has confused me somewhat and I keep going over all I've found.
Thanks Stuart it's added a bit more meat. You obviously think it's the same family.
Lou

If you say that the 1881 Scottish census is correct then you are looking at 2 different families. They can't be in Scotland and Liverpool at the same time.
Also - Sarah the mother in Scotland is born in Ireland whilst the Sarah in Liverpool is born Scotland (Aberdeen if you chase her through to 1911)

Just noticed that the marriage cert you have for James b1883 gives his father's name as James, not John and that the occupation is ship's steward. I wonder if you have followed back the correct family.

Hi Potty,
That's absolutely brilliant, I did search for them yesterday with no luck, but I have been informed that they change their database every 6 weeks, so I'm wondering if this is the reason you found them and also explain why sometimes I can find my own family and sometimes I can't.
I suspected that her maiden name was Hay.
To be honest I'm not entirely sure I am following the right family, there are quite a few James who were shipwrights / ships carpenters / sailors but none of them say Ships Steward. I did notice that the father's name on the census I was following was John and not James, but just considered the fact that because his son was named James it avoided confusion, plus some people use a 2nd name as a 1st name. My grandfather was called John but he was only known as Jack so anyone who knew him after he married only ever knew him as Jack, especially when they moved area, so it's just possible the same in this instance.
The only thing for sure is that his name was James Miller single in 1931 aged 48 and he married in Liverpool and that his father was also named James a ship's steward.
I have searched for a James matching him and came across a family in Liverpool whose parents & some siblings originated in Scotland with a connection to a ship. I have tried to find any family connection to either witness with no luck. I searched the names and came across one that was born in the same area (Warrington) where the groom died so wondered if the family moved there, but again after his death his wife remarried in West Derby - so that didn't quite fit either.
But thanks again, it's very much appreciated,
Regards, Lou
