                    1901 census Annie is back in Aberdeen with her 1 year old son William J Manson who had been born in Portsmouth. The address is 32 Hardgate. Unfortunately they are on their own so no family clues for her.

                      It looks like William was still alive in 1939. Lieutenant Commander R.N. retired. Same birth date as above. He is shown as married but no sign of Annie. Address; Keepers Cottage Stone Hill , Bridgwater R.D., Somerset, England
