Jan, if you use Ancestry just create a temporary tree. I make loads of trees and just delete when I'm sure of the info and then add to my final tree.

Great AustinQ. Annie was living in Belfast when she married but James Hamill's address was Broxburn. I would guess then that Peter had moved to Broxburn before 1913 and that would be how Annie and James met?

This is stupid, I can't find that record on the 1901 England census.

But born in the USA is a real surprise. I wonder when and why the parents moved over there - and why they came back.

AustinQ

AustinQ Report 8 Feb 2019 15:58

Yes, I think it's the correct family. Ages for Annie and James are correct, and also little Maggie/ Margaret.

Janet

Janet Report 8 Feb 2019 15:56

All this information is making my head spin, I can't get it all sorted out at all - do you really think that is the right family on the 1901? I'll go and have a closer look.

As always, you've cracked it AustinQ :-D :-D

We made a great team on this one! Hopefully the census will make things a little easier.

AustinQ Report 8 Feb 2019 15:52

I think she died before that as Peter remarried in 1916. I think it likely that 'deceased' was omitted from the marriage record.

Well found, AQ!

Ancestry's 1901 says Maggie senior, Annie, and Mary were all British Subjects, born USA.

Janet

Janet Report 8 Feb 2019 15:50

So Margaret Allison Kelly died between 1919 and 1923, I'll do another search.

Well, if he really was born in Durham, there's this birth (but rather clutching at straws, I fear - Jan's James doesn't seem to have a middle name) :
