Bob,

Once I put my post up I thought, actually... it would be better to put the photos on the site ! I will get them scanned in and sent off as soon as I can.

So far as Ann READ (b.1856) and Leonard PIRIE (b.1862) are concerned, I recall that on the 1901 Census they were both shown as 36 years old when in fact they were nearer 45 and 39 respectively. I have their marriage certificate which confirms that when they married in January 1885 they were 28 and 23 years respectively. The record on the 1901 census is wrong, but it is a good example of the mistakes that can occur even on something as official as the census return. I have no doubt that Ann READ was married to Leonard PIRIE - I have too much (other) evidence to think otherwise !
