Charles appears with pob in different counties and with several variations of his name.

 

[DaveHam9]

Scottish surnames starting with LA and not LAY... or LANE or LAIRD or LAM..

It's LAW.

I'll have to go back on and find the marriage.

[DaveHam9]

Have I got the right marriage?

Wilson WEST married 1907 Abbotshall, Fife to Robert LAW

Death 1922 LAW Wilhelmina (WEST) Morningside, Midlothian Age 38

 

[DaveHam9]

I have not been able to rule out Wilson WEST.

Still got one sister to find after 1901 - Margaret Shedden WEST.

Married 1906 Canongate to G ANGUS.


Death 1938 ANGUS Margaret Shedde (WEST) St Mary Dundee Age 58

I have not been able to rule out Wilson WEST.

There are 3 hits on SP for Wi West, mar., Fife 1901-1940.

[DaveHam9]

I tried all combinations of Wilhelmina that I could think of and ended up with Wilson. The death fits.

This was bugging me

1907 LAW ROBERT WEST JOHANNA WILSON KIRKCALDY AND ABBOTSHALL /FIFE 442/00 0092

 

[DaveHam9]

This was bugging me

1907 LAW ROBERT WEST JOHANNA WILSON KIRKCALDY AND ABBOTSHALL /FIFE 442/00 0092

Is that a death?

 

[horse]

Marriage..

 

[DaveHam9]

So it is the wrong marriage and middle name Wilson is the one I found in the index.


So Wilhelmina married a LAW but not Robert in Fife in 1907.

Something along those lines...

 

[DaveHam9]

I still can't find the marriage using given name starting with 'w' and all Scotland.
