Title: disappearing greatgrandad
Post by: lovelaj on Monday 20 September 10 12:55 BST (UK)

my greatgrandad was thomas stewart born dumfries 1865 to thomas and elizabeth, they appear to have split up after this. young thomas living with grandparents william and jane netherwood cottages 1871 census. next record of him i can find is 1901 census when he's in glasgow with helen wife and his family.. need to find him between 1871-1901 if anyone can help.

according to the 1901 their daughters Ethel (14) and Alice (12) were born in England but not Helen (7) so they might have been in England sometime between 1871 census and 1894.

Looking..
