James Wilkie, Age 24, Son In Law, Male, born Dunning, Perth, Occupation Maltman
Jane Bell Young (MS Todd) (McArthur) Wilkie, Wife, Dtr of Ann Todd (Head) , Age 37** (suspect an error here) as Mother only 43 yrs***
Other individuals living in the home are: George Todd, Son
James Todd, Grandson
John McArthur, Grandson
Ann McArthur, Grandtr
Jane Wilkie, Granddtr
*** - From James & Jane's marriage cert. Jane's Maiden name is Todd, she was married prev to Mr. McArthur - thus perhaps Ann Todd on 1901 census is her Sister - and ancestry.ca has erroneously transcribed this???? Also in 1896 at James & Jane's marriage - Jane's age was 32 - James 19
I cannot find death records for this individual on Scotlands People nor a 1911 census in the Clackmannan area - thus probability of immigration to another location appears possible. Jan 28 2012 hw
