Thanks Frances; you are correct, I'm not certain they met on the Isle. Being he was a gardener in Scotland, possibly(?) they met there. Julia is listed in the 1881 census, as age 11, scholar, still living with her parents at Ballagyr 1 Cottage, German. Are the Scottish sources only searchable for a fee? or is there a free search site? to search for a marriage or census in Edinburgh say 1891 or 1901? Thanks again; all thoughts appreciated!!
