Connon: Missing Family

[Windsor87]

Hello all,

I have been searching for William Connon and family for some time now but have been unable to find them. I thought that the 1911 Scottish Census would be of help, but it only tells us that they were not in Scotland. I have also checked the 1911 English Census, but have been unable to locate them on that either.

The missing family consist of:

Father: William Connon, b. 27 Sep 1865 at Monquhitter, Aberdeenshire.
Mother: Bella Stevenson (Mrs Connon), b. 21 Mar 1879 at Turriff, Aberdeenshire.
Child 1: George Stevenson Connon, b. 26 Aug 1894 at New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire.
Child 2: Rachel Connon, b.22 Dec 1897 at Macduff, Banffshire.
Child 3: Davina Connon, b. 30 Mar 1902 at Auchterderran, Fife.
Child 4: Hugh Taylor Connon, b. 19 Mar 1905 at Banff, Banffshire.

The birth of Hugh is the last we hear of them.

I have checked passenger lists but have been unable to find them on those either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

regards

Mother: Bella Stevenson (Mrs Connon), b. 21 Mar 1879 at Turriff, Aberdeenshire.
Child 1: George Stevenson Connon, b. 26 Aug 1894 at New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire

That would make Bella only 15yrs old when he was born - is that correct?  It also means that William was almost 14yrs older than her

They are on the 1901 census living in Fife - surname correctly spelt but Bella is Isabella and birthyear confirmed as 1879

Hi Carole,

There is indeed a bit of an age gap.

They married on 7th July 1894 at New Pitsligo, Aberdeenshire. She claimed to be 16 years old. She would have been 8 months pregnant then.

I think William would most likley have been locked up in this day and age.

Hi Keyboard86,

That must surely be them. The J may be an I for Isabella?

Thanks very much for this information.

How on earth do I trace them now?
