Thank you Margee, I didn't know when he left Scotland.

I did get a few credits for Scotlands people but his marriage is not on there.

So he must have married in America if at all !!!!

Hi, could anyone find a marriage for me please.

It is for a William Mac/Mc Lagan in America, I don't know when this was.
His wife was Agnes Richie Robb who married a Thomas Fitzpatrick in 1904 in Scotland.
I don't know which name she would have chosen for her second marriage (if indeed there was one)

Many thanks

Sheila
