Hi Gigi

can't find Clara on 1901 census.

could she maybe have gone to Ireland to stay with relatives after her mother's death then come back to Scotland as an adult?

Jeanette

Gigi

Gigi Report 26 May 2008 10:24

Wow, thanks Jeannette!!

Not sure what the cause of death means either!!

G

PS have just googled & is wasting away probably caused by consumption.

Hi Gigi

there is a possible death record on Scotlandspeople for Clara

1916 MCALEENAN CLARA F 24 ST ROLLOX GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/08 0469 VIEW (5 CREDITS

can't find her on census yet,still looking

Gigi

Gigi Report 26 May 2008 09:44

Hi Jeannette,

Thanks for looking. So John the father is on his own?! Strange that his dau Clara is not with him. Maybe cos the mother Isabella had died, young Clara is living with a female relative.

Seems strange too that the other children are living together apart from the father John.
