Hi Shirley
Thanks for your look up note. I have checked to the birth record for the above John born Partick his mother is Jeanie McDonald.

So this family in this census is not the Milne family I am looking for.

Partick.

?

If she had a barrled surname it may have been used instead of White/Whyte which is common in Scotland.,,,,,,perhaps the certificate for John born 1896 may show her full names used.plus Scottish birth certificates usually give parents date of marriage.

AustinQ Report 16 Jul 2017 12:50

Not looked into this, just thinking out loud- but is it possible that his mother died and his father remarried? Perhaps being the only mother he knew:

Marriage:

WHYTE JANE (Domestic Servant) age 32
MILNE ALEXANDER (Farm Servant) age 41
Year:1906
Ref: 233/ 8
Entry Number8
RD: Name: Pitsligo

EDIT: This Alexander was a widower when he married

AustinQ Report 16 Jul 2017 13:07

OK- age of son, Alexander, not correct- so unless your Alex lied big on his marriage, it's not the correct family (unless the son Alex died and another son Alex was born shortly after the census- trying too hard to make this fit!):
