1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census Transcription (Find My Past)

George Milne Son - Male 4 1897 - Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Oliver Milne Son - Male 1 1900 - Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland

OK- it seems looking at the Glasgow Electoral registers that 312 Bell Street was previously 144 Graeme Street.

All the same surnames living there in 1928 including Mrs Isabella Milne and Alexander Milne.
--------------------------

Using 144 Grame Street on the valuation rolls show that Mrs Isabella was there in 1920.

There were quite a few people listed at that address

Alexander, his wife, and Isabella were still there in 1933-1938:

Glasgow Electoral registers:
Alexander Milne
Mrs Isabella Milne
Mrs Nellie Milne

Just going to see if I can spot them there earlier>

Hi rootgatherer
Marriage gives m.s White I am beginning to think it is possibly Jessie not Jeanie very hard to make out.
I have not been able to find the possible connection between Mrs Isabella Milne and Alexander Milne they were both living at 312 Bell Street, Glasgow 1930/31


I have been looking at this 1901 census family
birth cert of son Alexander 1898
father Alexander Milne
mother Jessie Milne
the 1895 marriage cert for this Alexander Milne gives wife's name Jessie Milne nee Milne

Ian, was Alexander a bachelor when he married please?

From his marriage certificate say his mother was Jeanie Milne m.s. White or just Jeanie White?

He may not have been born in Glasgow. Milne is a much more common surname in Aberdeenshire and Angus. Both of those areas are connected with the fishing industry and would probably have a greater number of fish curers.

While I'm not questioning his parentage, it is also worth considering that illegitimate boys often " made up" a father with the same Christian name as their own.

no Kay not been able to find Alexander's birth either

Ian, have you got the death certificate of the person who married in 1931?

Hi, All
Just found an interesting record the birth of a Jessie White Milne born 1903 Glasgow
Father Alexander Milne Horse Shoer
Mother Agnes McFarlane Jackson
Parents married 1902 Glasgow

Could this be the same Alexander Milne married? to Jeanie/Jessie White
Parents of Alexander Milne b1901

Hi Kay
Sadly I cannot find a birth record for Alexander Milne born abt 1901 the only cert I have is his marriage in 1931

Ian have you got any of Alexanders&Jeanies childrens birth certificates as usually the parents date of marriage is shown on them in Scotland.

Thanks Austin
I am still trying to find a connection between Mrs Isabella Milne and Alexander Milne
both living at 312 Bell Street, Glasgow when Alexander married in 1931 on this marriage cert parents Alexander (deceased) and Jeanie/Janie/Jessie White

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!):

-------------------------------------

I'll tr and come back to this later if no-one solves it in the meantime

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

No Austin

Ian- any family connection on the witnesses for the marriage?

Hi Austin
