philip hugh barbour milner crockett

Can anyone shed light on this?  he was the son of Samuel Rutherford Crockett, the Scots author.  Philip was born in 1891 in Scotland and was a reporter in 1911 on a Scottish newspaper. He married Natalia Ivanovana Mikoulina  in Moscow on the 18th November 1914 and from then on has disappeared.  I've been searching for years now and there is no trace, but I have a feeling he (they) may have gone to Canada or the US.  No trace of him serving in WW1 but wondered if he could have been press?  It's driving me nuts  - he's one of the last of the in-laws to find.

Hi and welcome to rootschat is this the same family in the 1901 census living Bank Street Penicuik
notice with a different father James McDaid b 1854 Ireland ...So I am assuming the parent's separated  going by the death for Samuel Rutherford Crockett in 1914 ?

This may be of interest Immgration of Natalia Mikoulina de Krocket to Argentina

Translates loosely as
"According to immigration records, Natalia was Krocket Mikoulina of Russian nationality, place of birth being more specifically Samara.

Artist by profession, came to Argentina in the boat Lipari having embarked at Le Havre.

If you want, you can see the entire immigration record."

Natalie may have been a ballet dancer LINK

Have you looked at probate/will records for his mother (died 1932) and siblings?

I have found some references to his wife by searching for Crockett at http://archiveshub.ac.uk
from  Ekstrom Collection: Diaghilev and Stravinsky Foundation
dated 1913-1924
Letter from Natalie Crockett known as Nikoulina from Madrid (in Russian)
dated 1919-1920
Contract between Serge Diaghilev and Natalie Crockett known as Nikoulina for Dec 1919 - Aug 1920

search on MIKOULINA DE KROCKET here and you can also find the date (1927/05/20), occupation "artiste" and status (C = casado, married)

This was not her first arrival - she also travelled in 1924 and 1925 - both times under "Crockett".
No sign of Philip though - did they part ways?

 - ths may be a reference to her in a 1921 Brazilian newspaper, as "Natalie Mikulina"

I just happened to stumble across this web page. I am a dance historian and am currently researching a London-based dancer from the 1910s/1920s. Her stage name was Natalia Mikoulina and her contract with the Diaghilev Ballets Russes in 1919 gives her real name as Natalie Crockett. She appears on one or two Ballets Russes photos of the period, but details about her background are almost non-existent. Does anybody have any information?

[aghadowey]

Crockett was her married name but she was Natalia Ivanovana Mikoulina born Samara, Russia according to what's been posted already.

Russian marriage extract says age 22, single and gives her father as Ivan Feodorovitch Mikoulin-

Excellent. Many thanks for clarifying this. I cannot find her father on either the 1901 or 1917 Moscow name directories, but that doesn't mean a great deal - perhaps he left with her (or had died).
