William Connon and Bella Stephenson - Aberdeenshire, Scotland
I am keen to know what happened to this family.
William Connon was born 27 Sept. 1865 in the Monquhitter parish in ABD, Scotland, the son of William Connon and Jane/Jean Burr.He married 7 July 1894 at 48 High St. New Pitsligo to Bella Stephenson.According to the marriage registration she was 16 at the time and the daughter of George Stephenson and Rachel Booth.
William and Bella had a daughter Rachael Stephenson Connon, born at 27 Shore, Macduff in Banffshire on 22 December 1898.The marriage details contained in the birth registration agree with the marriage registration referred to earlier.
The 1901 census records the family as being resident at Kirkshotts, Auchterderran, Fife.William was recorded as age 35, an agent for sewing machines and born at Monquhitter, ABD.Bella was recorded as (Isabella) aged 22, born at Turriff, ABD.Rachel (Rachael) was recorded as aged 3, born at Banff, Banffshire.In addition, there was a son recorded, George Connon, aged 6, born at Tyrie in ABD.
I can find no record of the birth of George in Scotland.Nor can I find any record of the birth of Bella (Isabella) Stephenson.Further searches in Scotlandspeople fail to reveal a marriage registration for Rachael/Rachel, a death registration for her, or a death registration for Bella (Stephenson) Connon.
It would therefore appear that the family most likely left Scotland.Searches in the 1911 Canadian census and the US cenuses for 1910, 1920 and 1930 do not provide any clues.
Is there anyone who can help me here?
