All the dates add up so this looks like them on the 1911,
what a shame for the children all being split up like that in 1891, glad to see at least some of them were back together in the end...Thanks to everyone :)

I haven't got anywhere since the first post.I can't seem to trace them anywhere..On the 1901 it did state he was from Scotland , thought it seemed a bit odd..
Thanks for all the help though :)
