Many thanks for all this information. It pretty much matches all my research too and I am grateful as your dates all match mine. Thanks for the extra Poole details. Yes James Logie does change his age especially when he went onto marry in 1882 a much younger woman. I have Ada Adine Logie birth certificate and her mother is Sarah Elizabeth Logie nee Poole and the father is James. But as you say there is no record of marriage or death certificate. It's all mysterious! My dad said that there was a rumour of a James Logie running off with a younger woman. I reckon James met Lizzie whilst he was a lodger in the lodging houses owned by Lizzie mum. I searched for death records for all variants of names but nothing. James death certificate was informed by his son Leon Lionel Logie, also Lizzie son.
I reckon there is something dodgy about Lizzie disappearance. Her son Jasper J Logie was a seaman and deserted in Australia. I wonder if she followed her son there?
Many thanks again for all the replies, much appreciated. Regards D

Thanks for this. Yes I already knew this as I found out he deserted his ship in Australia!! I found name of ship and dates. I reckon he left London after 1881. There are newspaper reports of his baby and wife deaths posted by his wife's family. Jasper was my second great uncle on my father Logie side. I can't believe that he was alive in the 50's. My dad would have liked to have contacted him. But he had no idea of his existence in Australia. I wasn't sure if he remarried and had any further children. My search continues. Many thanks for your time and response. D

Hi, my four times great grandfather is Gilbert Traill Logie, born 13-5-1802. He is my direct ancestor through my dad. I am trying to find out more about his dad who was a James Logie born 9-11-1772. His dad was Thomas Logie. I am drawing a blank on Thomas especially and would like help to find out more about these two. I have tried Scotland people but not been successful. Would it be possible to find addresses and burials? As far as I can tell all are from Kirkwall Orkney. Then Gilbert went to Edinburgh. His son , another James ( third times great grandfather) came to London to be an accountant. Hence my Logie family in London, but me wanting to know more about my Logie ancestry! Thanks in advance for any help and guidance. Regards D
