David arrived in New York again in 1937 and it shows him as still married and still living on Hancock.

Cannot find David, Martha or Mary Ann's deaths. Perhaps Mary Ann returned to Scotland?

Someone on Ancestry has
David Lang, May 1864, Ramsey, Isle of Man
Death: New York
Spose: Martha Miller, born Mar 1864, Partic, Scotland
Death: New York

The information lists Agnes' husband and children. I will send this by pm, since it is regarding more recent births.

THank you for your help, Richard. I stepped away for a bit, and I have some of my own research to do, so I will have to leave soon.

Thanks Richard, I'm off to bed now or I'll be like a snake in the morning. I have to work tomorrow but will look in when I get home.

Thanks Lisa, I'm off to bed now but before I go I've found this address for David & Martha in 1920

Brooklyn Assembly District 5, Kings, New York

I've lifted the address for a decendant of Mary's tree. She says that Mary married Raymond Waters in 1911 in New York. Sorry I don't know how a accurate this is, I've been in contact with the tree owner but she didn't come back even though I offered to share what I had.

Hmmm, I'm not finding her. Although, she could have remarried while she was living here.

Now that you do know that she came to the states, perhaps you might find her returning to the UK?

We have to go out in a bit, but I can look for "what happened" to Martha and David's children later. (Or, someone may do so before I return.)

Lisa Any help with anything is appreciated, I lost incoming journeies when I renewed my Ancestry.
Had I even thought that Mary had gone to America, I'd have got Worldwide but I thought she was washing laundry in Scotland somewhere not living in New York!

Claire, in case you need to go to sleep soon, after I've looked for Mary Ann, do you need any help with Martha and David's children?

Back to trying to find Mary Ann and John and Agnes.

Martha Neil married David Lang born 1864 Scotland. I have no marriage cert as it was in America but Martha made a trip to Scotland which gave her sister's address & I had some family info.

Martha & David had the following children

Mary 1892
Agnes 1893
Alexandernia 1895
William 1897
Florence 1900
