Mina Jardine Duthie CAMPBELL or SILVER

Other Events and Attributes:

• Census: 1891, 8 Shiprow, St Nicholas, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK
• Census: 1901, 51 Ashvale Place, Aberdeen, Scotland, UK

Notes:

Possibly becomes known as Josephine Silver by 1901 as indicated by family census entry and no known record for a Josephine Silver born abt 1890. However, we have Mina on 1891 census with her mother along with statement about her paternity on the birth cert and the seeming estrangement between Jane and her husband. They then appear to reunite between 1891 and 1901 and have another child (Jessie) in 1896. In 1903, Alex Silver faced court over not ensuring his adopted daughter Josephine Silver went to school.
CONCLUSION: Mina and Josephine are the same person. As well, she marries in 1908 as Mina Silver to a Robert Adams and wedding cert gives Alex and Jane as her parents.
