Alexander miller tree

[Elizapea]

Hello, hit a very early brick wall with my great grandfather and great grandmother. Alexander miller and Margaret steel - possible Steele. They had my grandad in roughly 1914 also named Alexander miller. Possible job for senior Alex is drayman

Any tips or help finding more about Alex and Margaret much appreciated. Other branches of my tree have been very easy but these two have me stumped

Hi Elizapea,

I see on ScotlandsPeople a marriage between an Alexander Miller and Margaret Steel in Glasgow (St Rollox) in 1903. That could be in the right timeframe for a 1914 birth, guessing a number of children likely to be born to them between 1903 and 1914. Are you expecting them to be in Glasgow area?

All the best,

AndrewP

Thankyou. Yes this is them! I must of entered wrong dates before. Glasgow is the area. We don’t think they ever strayed from Glasgow.

Beyond ordering the marriage certificate have you any advice how I can find more about them? I’ve been trying various things. They did have a few children, Martha agnes Alexander.

This is my mums father’s side of the family. The other side for my grandmother was very easy to find, almost no effort in my behalf so searching for these millers and steels is new to me
