So wonder if the 1911 showing the daughters mean that Alex was back in Scotland temporarily

thanks girls - very much appreciated - shall pass it on but I think my friend may well have gone to bed - these men have no staying power!!! but he will very much appreciate the trouble you have taken

Not sure what it says about husband but it does say away

from my friend



he resided in England more or less his two daughters married in 1914 and 1922 and he was still alive then (64 in 1922) just a mystery!



have asked for the names of the daughters

There isn't a death for him in England/Wales.........moved back to Scotland, perhaps?

Had they definitely moved before 1911 census date?

Was his mother still living by then?
