He travelled out on the Caledonia from Glasgow in 1908 when he was 27 and had himself listed as a "painter" with his father an Ironmonger which I think is a mistake as a suitable family for him from Hawick (in the manifest entry it gives his birthplace as Hawick) gives the father's occupation as "Iron Moulder". He was going to Caspar, Wyoming. However, I have my doubts as to whether this family is related to mine as my Middlemas' seem to stick close to agriculture.
That Thomas went out to stay with his brother-in-law and the 1910 Census has him as brother-in-law staying with Robert and Elizabeth Davidson in Cheyenne, Laramie Wyoming and working as Keeper of Large Stock! He certainly turned his hand to anything
I notice also that on three "Nativity"entries on the manifest he is described as Scot/English which serves well as a description of the borderers! After all that - I dinnae think he's mine.
I would be quite content to know if Margaret Scott had siblings and did Jessie get married and to whom. But I realise that their dates do not fall conveniently with the permitted access to records.
Adam came home to visit a few times. You'd think he would have had the decency to leave a full description of North American family labelled "For the future family historian"
Bye now, hope the in-laws like your family history chat.
