This lady is a brickwall for me lol. She married William Alexander in 1851, the last I have of her is the 1901 census on Scotlands People, she was still living with 2 of her sons, in Oxford Street Glasgow. I can't find a death certificate for her, nor a birth certificate.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Ann was 73 on the census. Which would mean she was born around 1828, but the Ann Sneddon of 1828 doesn't appear to fit.
I got the record off the marriage and some of the censuses.
Thanks :-)

Hi Again,
there is also different birthplaces on the censuses, one has Hamilton and another has Tollcross.One is in Glasgow and the other isn't.

Thanks safc
I have seen this one and I am sure it was in someone else's tree and didn't tie with mine. I will go back to Scotlands People and follow it and see if I can get a death cert.I even put their daughter's name in to see if I could find her.
Thanks again.

ArgyllGran ..believe it or not that reads Tollcross , and William's place of birth is also wrong it should say Cadder which is in Glasgow not Calder which is nearer Edinburgh. No wonder I get confused. Thanks :-)

Hi all,
I found an Ann s Alexander in the 1911 census boarding with a family called Andrew. She is aged 76.
Will try searching for her daughters censuses for 1911, one was married to a railway man so she could have moved around maybe?
Thanks for your help :-)
