Find Ancestors

please would some kind person find this man on the 1911 census for me - I have failed!! He was born in Aberdeen in 1858 later moving to Yorkshire with his mother Margaret

would appreciate any assistance [for a friend of mine]

Ann XX

Had they definitely moved before 1911 census date?

Was his mother still living by then?

this is him in the 1881 census

That is a shame that the marriage is in East Yorkshire as Ancestry might have had the details if it had been West Yorkshire

grateful for all the help so far - much appreciated - I'm useless with the 1911

So wonder if the 1911 showing the daughters mean that Alex was back in Scotland temporarily

Did the father sign as a witness of the 1922 marriage?
