The marriage certificate lists his age as 41 and hers as 25; however, it appears she was only 23 and he was 43.
He had been widowed in 1882 and had 5 children, although by the time he and Jane were married, three of them had died. James was 17 and Mary was 11.
Andrew and Jane had 3 daughters. These are the youngest pictures I have of each of them.
Lizzie was born in 1888. Here she might be 20? 1908? Judging by the clothing.:
Lizzie married William Martin in 1910 in Boston, Massachusetts. She arrived in the US in 1909 joining William who arrived in 1907.
Jane(Jeannie) Wilson was born in 1891(shown here at her wedding to James Dougall in 1916 when she was 26):
Andrina(later she used 'Annie Rita') was born in 1884. Rita(Reta), came to the US in 1916 with her mother. This picture was taken Boston Purdy & Company
Active 1896-1930; at 146 Tremont 1896-1908, at 145 and 390 Tremont later. The cover on the photo clearly says '145 Tremont' so it is pre-1922. )
More pictures of Jeannie:
This seems to be in the graveyard, maybe at her father's funeral in 1914?
This appears to be Jeannie, James, and baby Andrew.
This one is labeled Andrew D. (same hair)
James, Jeannie, and Andrew.
Next comes baby Jack...
This looks like the same suit on Andrew, below. Is that Jeannie? Maybe not the same day?
Below Top: James with Jack when he's a little older. Bottom: Jeannie with baby Jack and young Andrew, at the beach. Maybe on a Sunday? Doesn't look like beach attire.
Above, James, Jeannie, Andrew and Jack with a different older woman.

This is Inverness. We saw this bridge when we were there in 2018. Who is the woman on the left?
Above looks like two days from the clothing. When did Tom and Rita visit Jeannie? in the 1950's or 60's?
