Not seeing deaths for Alexander, David, Jane or Christina in Scotland. Could they have emigrated?

Maybe? In Scotland Jane and Jean are interchangeable

EDIT:
Oh yes, RG, I see you've said that already.

Well found ArgyllGran. That's just David and Christina unaccounted for. Perhaps they too went to America.

From what you've found, RG, it appears that David wasn't with the rest of the family in 1911.

This one doesn't seem to be part of a household of Rentons in 1911 - maybe him lodging somewhere??

I wish it was possible to search or order the results by reference number.

That looks a good possibility AG. The area is not far from where the family are in 1901. Perhaps he's with his mother's family.
