Phil,

According to the marriage cert. for William and Annabella, her parents were Joseph Crawford, Postman, and Agnes Crawford previously Cocquhoun, ms. Isood. Annabella was 24 so she would have been born in 1901. There are several census records for a Joseph and Agnes Crawford, but I'm not finding a marriage for them in Scotland. The only Cocquhouns I found were in England and I don't see any Isoods anywhere. One of the witnesses on the marriage cert. was Margaret Crawford living at 103 New City Road, Glasgow so this might have been Annabella's sister. Annabella was a Chemists Assistant and a spinster at the time of her marriage.

Hi Phil & Carol,

The mother's surnames were Colquhoun and (ms) Wood. Their 1912 marriage is there on ScotlandsPeople. They were both widowed before the 1912 marriage.

The mother's previous marriage in 1894 is also readily found on ScotlandsPeople, using _____ Colquhoun marrying Agnes Wood as the search criteria.

This couple can be found on the 1901 census without any children, as visitors in a household in Lanarkshire (outside of Glasgow).

Husband #1's death can be found in West Lothian a year before the 1911 census.

Annabella can be found, age 10, in the 1911 census with her widowed father; and three siblings and an aunt.

Annabella can be found in the 1901 census (age 7 weeks); with both parents, her older brother and another aunt.

Annabella's father's first marriage of 1899 can be found.

Annabella's birth certificate can be found as Anna Bella Math(eson) Crawford in 1901.

Annabella's birth mother's death certificate of 1909 can be found.

The parents named on Annabella's marriage certificate are her father and stepmother.

That should give you a bit of research to get you further with your searches.

All the best,

AndrewP
