Hi

Scotland's People has Fanny & Archibald's marriage certificate. This will give you both sets of parents.

From that you should be able to get births for Fanny's Parents and using the census if you then find their parents it should show their siblings. This McCafferty at 17 East Shaw St could have been a relation. A lot of Orosh folks came to and from and settled in West of Scotland. It could be this was someone who came over earlier and the family stayed with them. But first you;d need to establish if Fanny's parents were resident in Scotland in 1901



Hope this helps

Ann

This is the only Fanny Rowe I can find on any of the census
I am not sure if they are the right family but some of the names are quite similar to
your other family names
George Rowe....................37
Ann ..................................31
Charles.............................14
George..............................12
Fanny...............................7
Alfred...............................9
Henry...............................2
they are living at 76 Dempster street  gives her birth place as England
so you maybe able to search the BMD record for her birth

BMD has Fanny Gertrude Rowe, 3rd Qtr 1873, Newton Abbot.

1871 census:
Newton Abbot, Devon
George Rowe, Head, 27, Printer, Cornwall
Elizabeth A Rowe, Wife, 22, Devon
Charles W Rowe, Son, 4, Plymouth
George B Rowe, Son, 2, Plymouth.

Can't see this family in England on the 1881 census, so I think it might be the one you found in Scotland, Elaine, especially as George's occ. is the same.
