Hi tracing an ancestor Donald McKinnon Anderson (there are a few of the same name in the family) and have his birth and also have him on Scottish censuses up to 1901 then he vanishes. No sign of his death or his wife or their children. I am now wondering if he moved to England or abroad.
His date of birth was 25/9/1869 in Port Glasgow, Renfrew in Scotland. He married an Agnes McPherson in Alloa Clackmannanshire Scotland on 26/2/1897. On the 1901 census he was living in Alloa with an occupation as a baker (his occupation is always listed as a baker).
They have 2 twin boys Donald McKinnon Anderson and Charles McPherson Anderson who were born on 20/6/1898.
I have checked every death via Scotlands People from 1901 onwards looking for any of the two parents or children but cannot find any of them.
My only conclusion is that they moved away from Scotland after 1901. Unfortunately the 1911 Scottish census has not been released yet so cannot check that.
Would anyone be able to check the 1911 English census in case they have moved to England.
Also is there any site that can check emmigration records to see whether they have moved abroad?
I have his parents, brothers and sisters all confirmed and in my file but the trail just stops for them.
As they died after 1855 there must be records of their deaths if they died in Scotland but as I cannot find them I am looking for some help.
Many thanks
Steven
