• Notes

  Married: After Banns According to the Forms of the Free Church of Scotland Thomas Fleming Coal Miner, Bachelor, Aged 22 Res: 4 Douglas Place, Bothwell Haugh Parents: James Fleming, Engineman at Colliery & Elizabeth Fleming MS McCracken Janet Laird Preserve Jelly Worker, Spinster, Aged 19 Res: 5 Lees Land, Thorniewood Parents: William Laird, Coal Miner & Mary Laird MS Gardner Witnesses: Hugh Cowan & Elizabeth Hannan Research Note: Seems the they went back and forth between USA and Scotland, especially Janet to have the first two children born in Scotland. First child Mary born in 1910/11, possibly Shettleston Lanark. second daughter Elizabeth MaCracken Fleming born in 1913 - Bothwell Lanark. Others are James T Fleming born 6 Aug 1916 Pennsyvania; William C (Billy) Fleming born c 1919 Pennsyvania. Also appearing on Immigration as well as Census of USA is Alexander Fleming - adopted son, as well as Annie Fleming. I suspect these are the children of Thomas's parents or his brothers which also came to USA with them. It appears that also Thomas's parents may have also immigrated to the USA. Lots of research is required regarding this family.
