Going back to this census
Is this your James Low Rae address 3,Balgray Place Angus
James Low Rae age 29 born Arbroath occupation commercial clerk
Jemima Rae age 28 Dundee
Jemima Rae age 5 Dundee
James Rae age 3 born Dundee
Jessie Rae age 2 months born Aberdeen
Jessie Rae age 58 born Lumphanan ( mother )
This James Rae was born in Arbroath, and if his age is accurate he was born in 1871 or 1872. In the census (transcription) his mother Jessie Rae is listed as
single.
So I reckon that the chances are that he is the James Low born in Arbroath on 24 February 1872 to James Low and Jessie Rae.
His daughter Jemima is undoubtedly the Jemima Millar Abbott Rae born in Mains in 1895.
So the question is, which of the two Jemima Raes was actually your great-grandmother - the one born in Glasgow in 1893 to James Rae and Agnes Landells, married 1882 in Glasgow, or the one born in Mains in 1895 to James Rae and Jemima Millar Abbott, married 1895 in Dundee?
