George Hutchison, born December 1864 at St Nicholas Poor House Aberdeen
« on: Monday 08 February 16 04:01 GMT (UK) »
This is what I know

George Hutchison was born at St Nicholas Poor House, Aberdeen on December 9,1864 to Margaret Hutchison. I can't find them together in a Cencus after this date.
George is my great g_father. He married Agnes Maywood 11 October 1889 in Lochee, Dundee. His name on the Marriage Certificate was recorded as George Hutchison Cowie, born in Aberdeen with his mother recorded as Margaret Hutchison and his father recorded as John Cowie. George was illegitimate.
Any information that helps to show whether George left the Poor House with his mother Margaret or did they leave separately would be helpful. How did George end up in Dundee and was he with his mother? Did she marry?
Any help would be fantastic.
Thank you,

George's marriage cert is on a family tree on Anc and lists his occupation as Calendar Worker, his mother Margaret Hutcheson is listed as Jute Millworker and father John Cowie a General Labourer

I wonder if this is George's mother Margaret in 1891 with the same occupation as listed  for her on his marriage cert?  Maybe they moved from Aberdeen to work in the Jute Mills at Dundee

Mary    Connelly    Head 56     Dundee, Forfarshire
Bridget McCulloch Boarder  40    Jute Millworker    Ireland    
Margaret Hutchison Boarder Widow 58 Jute Millworker    Montrose, Forfarshire (Angus)
Bridget McKernan Boarder 49 Jute Millworker  Ireland
