Hi

Just a thought...

Have you located the family in the 1911 census? If Martha is not with them it might be worth a search  for her in the marriages and deaths between 1901 and 1911 - the cert. might help confirm her parentage. Witnesses on a marriage cert might also shed light.

Re Rosie's query about Martha McKinnon/Murray in 1881 Census. That is who I mean by 'my' Martha! As I could not find any Martha McKinnon with a mother named Mary in 1881,I felt more confident that Martha Murray was the illegitimate Martha that William found.  I shall follow up on his 1911 Census suggestion though I can only access the Scottish 1911 through SP so will have to wait til my budget catches up.

As 2 of Rosie's comments are on different pages, I missed one of them.  The family in 1891 and 1901 that she noted, are the family I am researching - It was because there was confusion with a Janet's birth but no Martha Murray's birth in this family that I posted my query - with very helpful results

So problem solved now Anne
