Title: Steel and Pettigrew of Paisley
Post by: Foolscap on Thursday 19 June 08 18:57 BST (UK)

Looking for info about my great-grandmother (Jessie Pettigrew 1854 to 1920) - re her second marriage to William Steel.  William born in Johnston area of Scotland in 1852.  William had 5 children I think - Walter, Isa, Jeanie, Bessie and Andrew.
William and Jessie married in 1897 in Paisley, Scotland.  Thanks.

Have you tried searching Scotlands People on the 1901 census?

Yes thanks, that's the family.  I now need to try and trace where they went to after 1901.  That's an interesting comment about the Channel Islands - didn't know that!
