If you don't have the marriage certificate it may be an idea to get that to take you further back. Have you tried Scotlands people web site. :-\

As Rosie said best thing would be to download his marriage certificate on www.scotlandspeople.gov
and that will give you the names of their parent's to start you off.
Possible match for a marriage in Stirling 1904 for a John Gilchrist to a Mary Paterson ...There is a tree on Ancestry with some names of their family but I would check the marriage first

That 1904 marriage is Mary NEILSON Paterson.

SP also has a death for a Mary Neilson Gilchrist(other surname Paterson) 1937 , Haggs Stirling , born c1884.

You would have been able to view and download the image for 6 credits £ 7.00 would have got you 30 credits ..That's a pity could have saved you some money good luck with your research

Hello All.
This looks like John Gilchrist. with parents and siblings 1881 census.
Address, Sheddings, Denny, Stirling,
Alexander Gilchrist, Head, Coal Miner, M. age 28 years, M. born Bothkennar, Stirling,
Mary Gilchrist, Wife, M. age 26 years, F. born Denny, Stirling,
John Gilchrist, Son, age 3 years, M. born Denny, Stirling,
Robert F. Gilchrist, Son, age 2 years, M. born Denny, Stirling,
Elizabeth S. Gilchrist, Daur, age 1 month, F. born Denny, Stirling.
Its no coincedence this family and later John Gilchrist, named some of their children with middle names of the female parents maiden name, ie.
Alexander Gilchrist, married Mary Fleming, 1876. Haggs, Stirling, thats them above.
Robert F. Gilchrist, aged 2 years, born Robert Fleming Gilchrist.
Elizabeth S. Gilchrist, aged 1 month, born Elizabeth Stirling Gilchrist, after father Alexander's, mother Helen Stirling.
I also think the Mary Gilchrist, you mention born 1909, was actually born Mary Fleming Gilchrist, in Haggs, Stirling. after John Gilchrist's, mother Mary Fleming.
Then later Robert Paterson Gilchrist, born 1921. Haggs, Stirling, middle name after his mother.
However you need the certificates from Scotlandspeople, to prove it.
Regards,
Jonn.
