Hello,

I am a newbie to this site so I am hoping someone with more experience than me can point me in the right direction.

I am trying to find a Mary Logan on the 1911 census.

Mary was born in 1870 with the maiden name of Munro.

She married James Logan in 1892

Mary"™s husband James died in 1896 "“ They had a son also called James born in 1892.

The family home where Mary and her son James lived (with her Logan in-laws) was at 38 Union Avenue in Ayr.

The 1901 census has Mary and her son visiting friends in Cardiff "“ I struggled to find this also until someone pointed out they were transcribed incorrectly as Sagar instead of Logan.

The 1911 census sees James (junior) living with his widowed granny Elizabeth Logan at 38 Union Avenue, Ayr "“ but no sign of his mother Mary Logan.

So between 1901 and 1911 Mary has completely disappeared.

Has she died? "“ I can find no record.

Has she remarried? "“ I can find no record

Can anyone please provide me with a few tips to help me find Mary"™s whereabouts

Many thanks

Dave

Try the 1911 Scottish Census.

I would say this is her death.

Mark,

That is tremendous.

Thank you very much indeed.

Very impressed.

Wonder why she died with her maiden name?
Is she on 1911 as her maiden name?
Jo

She is not on the UK/Wales 1911 cenus with wither name. That is whyI think you will find her with relatives in Scotland.

I have had a few widowers resort to their maiden names.

Didn't know widowers had ever been maidens
