What is his occupation in the 1897 marriage.You may have to wait until 1911 full census come on line.Scottish one in April.English one is on Find my Past,but should be coming on Ancestry soon.As Catherine and Donald are seperated soon after marriage ,you could look for a poor relief in Laurenceskirk,Kincardinshire.

Thanks everybody. All the info previously posted is correct as I have the relevant Birth, Marriage, Death and Divorce certificates. I have all I need for the family tree except the death of Donald McIntosh. He was in Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria at Grimes Hall and possibly working as a Butler. He had been a butler in a number of houses in Scotland prior to that. He was divorced by 1906 when he registered his place of residence as Grimes Hall, Kirkby Lonsdale on the death certificate of Jane McIntosh his sister. He definately moved to England. There is no trace of him in Scottish records after 1906. He therefore died outside Scotland. I am looking for a record of his death in England and possibly if he remarried. As a Butler he moved about so in 1911 census he could be anywhere in England. Thanks everybody for your time. Bill McIntosh

In the 1922 marriage of my grandparents his father Donald was not shown as deceased. This may be because they did not know if he was dead or alive. In Court documents (Divorce) it stated his wheareabouts were unknown but belived to have returned to Forres, Scotland. He was in England in 1906. An acrimonious divorce and as far as I am aware Donald McIntosh abandoned his wife and son. Divorce was quite rare in those days. In 1922 Donald would have been 55. I know there is a second Donald McIntosh also born in Forres but in 1869 - this is a different person. Catherine Carnegie lived in Coatbridge Dundyvan Road where she died. My father was born in the same house. Bill McIntosh

Do you have a copy of the divorce papers please? It was quite unusual for a woman to obtain a divorce at that time. It may tell you if a third party was involved.
