It's sort of close isn't Sancti...but this family show in 1881 still at Woodside Place, whilst the other Allan family were at Mosside Brickwork.

Ah well! Back to the drawing board

I think this 1891 entry might be one that you have to search for on SP and look to the original entry as it may fall into one of the "disappeared" from the transcript!

A big thank you to Rodeo, Sancti and MonicaL for their help and suggestions. I will look on SP for the 1891 censes to see if it's there and also check the 1901 census to see whether Catherine was married or widowed at that time. I know that the daughter Margaret was married in 1894 so if I look up her marriage I should be able to further narrow the time of William's death. I went through 30 credits on SP just 3 days ago so I'll have to wait until next month to pursue these facts further. If only I had been born rich or had won the lottery!!!LOL
Regards, Nan

You and me and most of the Scottish research RootsChatters 

Let us know how you get on, Nan 

Monica

Added: Bear in mind in your searches that last born daughter from the 1901 census that Rodeo found was Janet born 1887-8 so likely death for William anytime from this date....

Hi Nan

I had a squizz at the 1894 registration of marriage for Margaret Allan and Robert Marshall. Her parents are cited as William Allan, farmer, and Catherine Allan (maiden surname Clark). Thus, William is not deceased in 1894.

If you send me a PM with your email address, I'd be most happy to forward a copy of this registration to you.

Cheers,

Rodeo

Farmer, carter and possibly carpenter...William Allan's occupations seem a real mix

The placename is actually 'Crossmyloof' - the transcribers on Ancestry have got it wrong.
