Hi daytona,
Good to see you,
Looking... but all I've found so far is birth of Annabella Bryan Millar 05 Dec 1891 Ardrossan Old, Ayrshire.

We have Annabella, she is my wife's Grandmother. She, her sister Euphemia (Effie) and brother Peter all came to Canada as 'Home children' in 1906-07.
The Parents supposedly passed away in the early 1900's, rest of siblings remained in Scotland.
We are very intersted in tracing the parents. Was there an Irish connection, as Bryan is an Irish name. Family lore says jessie came from Ireland, but nobody really knows.
Elwyn... Thanks for the information. Didn't know about the middle name.

Thanks again
daytona.

pejay,
Thanks for that info, will have to look into it. Agree with the number of W. Millars/Millers!
Is there any way to find out what happened to William and Jessie and where?
Family lore (again!) says they both died in an influenza outbreak or somesuch in the early 1900's.
Thanks again.

Look for them in the 1901 & 1911 censuses; also look for their deaths. Scottish death certificates have the deceased's parents names. If you get the marriage certificate, as suggested previously, you'll then know those names from that, and so when you have found the right deaths. There might also be a will or two. All of these records are on the Scotlandspeople site.
