Happy New Year Erin, nice to hear from you again. I haven't been on here for ages but I'm back now and I'm sure I'll really confuse you again at some point. x

Happy Hogmanay Sandra....

"Here's to the heath, the hill and the heather,
The bonnet, the plaid, the kilt and the feather!

Thank you again Helen, I'm going to have to spend a while reading through all of this information properly.

No, Jane and Agnes

Sorry for being thick but does that mean Jessie & Jane are the same person?

Potty, thank you very much.

Josephs address when he married Jessie was 13 Ingleston Street so, it looks like the same Joseph.

What was Joseph's address on the marriage cert?

Possible. Thank you very much Helen for all your help.

All the children born before Isabella (b1876) were born in Ireland, so we won't find the family on the census before the 1881.

This looks like Joseph senior in 1901 - gives a bit more detail of POB and he seems to have re-married:
