mystery family need help

[sancti]

Where are they living on 1901 census?

[Sharon01]

Hi,

Did William have any siblings?

Sharon

[karink]

169 Bushyhill street Cambuslang. listed as Margaret a dressmaker, William a chemist apprentice and an Archibald brown boarder.

[karink]

No he was an only child

[sancti]

Perhaps William got his father's name wrong on his marriage record

This is the closest I can see for a Margaret born in Lesmahagow on 1891 census


Robert Anderson 33 born Whitburn occ Engine keeper
Margaret Anderson 33 born Lesmahagow
William Anderson 5 born Rutherglen


Address:

Wellshot Place, Rutherglen

[karink]

that would explain my grandfathers name which was Robert but still don't know who this Christina Stewart is I can understand getting one name wrong but both parents? like I said a real mystery but I will have a look at the Margaret and Robert you have shown me it a new avenue to check out thank you.

Check for a death of a Robert soon after 1891

[sancti]

Margaret Anderson the widow of Robert Anderson (Colliery engine keeper) died 1926 and son William was informant

[sancti]

Thanks for sending the marriage certificate through

William's address on the 1909 marriage certificate is 267 Main Street, Cambuslang

Margaret Anderson the widow of Robert Anderson died at 267 Main Street, Cambuslang in 1926

Like you I can't understand why he got his mother's name wrong
