Looking for help with another branch of my family. I am unable to find a marriage, death or census after 1901 for Annabella. Her father was John Middleton and mother Margaret Mitchell. She was born on 21/06/1876 in 57 High St, Brechin Scotland. Her father died in 1876 and mother in 1880. On the 1901 census she was a border in Muirkirk High Street and working as a teacher. I've tried looking at schools in Muirkirk but no idea of the name of the school. I've searched census records, marriages and death records from 1901 onwards but no luck. Any help would be appreciated.
