MonicaL..The other connection I mentioned was the naming of children etc
Did Mary and John Yates name their children in the Scottish manner.
Isabella A,(died aged 11) James, Annie B, William S, and John Storrie. (there was another girl who died at birth) Was Isabella named after Mary's Mother ?  (or John's?) James (John's Father) Annie B (?) William S(Mary's Father?)John S ( after his father)
..I have also seen Mary named Mary Ann.
so I had the idea that Mary's parents were maybe William and Isabella.
Still I shall continue looking at the Manchester data.
Thanks lots for your input.

Thanks for your interest, MonicaL. My last post seems to have confused things.
Mary Miller married John Yates (my gt g'parents) in Manchester 1869. I don't have access to this marriage Cert as yet and so can't follow through on parents and witnesses.
John Yates was the son of James Yates and Isabella Storrie born Baldernock 1841. they shifted to Rothesay on Earl of Bute's Estate. My g'father was John Storrie Yates ..the 3rd  son of John and Mary Yates above. I am contact with spikey5 on the Yates Forum re that connection.
Mary Miller had a brother William who is shown in 1881 Census at Portsea Eng, and he lists his place of birth as Manchester too.
As you say maybe I am looking at this incorrectly. However my elderly relative who said Mary was born in Scotland has been correct on all other information given to me.

Lancashire / Re: William Webster- daughter Jane Webster

I have done a bit more checking...maybe the family lore was incorrect.
I can only seem to find the birthplace of William and Margaret as St Helen's
Lancashire.
Thank you for your help.

Well spikey5, my Mistake too. I wasn't aware of the restriction.
 I have now brought my posts over 3, so we should be able to PM.
William, second son of John and Mary took over the running of 'The Nursery' as James, first son, went to Portsmouth to work with his Uncle William Miller.
Looking forward to comparing notes.

Thank you all so very much.
Yes..Jane married John Storrie Yates b 1882 Manchester in Salford Registry 1907,( I have information about the Yates family)
and the Marriage Cert. shows Wm Webster was formerly a glass blower. I had seen the 1881 Census but wasn't certain it was the correct family. New information I have and the 1891 Census confirms more names for me.
The birthplaces of the parents seem questionable.
Is there any way I can check the Mother's and Father's Birthplace? as family information mention there is an Irish connection.

Thank you so much for such a quick reply.
Yes I have seen the marriage Cert you mention.
and Yes ..John Yates was born in Baldernock Scotland 1841.I have information about him.
An elderly family member had told me that Mary was born near Glasgow and her father had businesses there. but that is all I know.
The William I mentioned was Mary's brother.
The children of John and Mary show James as the first son..name of John's Father.,..and
William as second son...so the father's name also could be William.
Isabella was the name of the first daughter, but that was also the name of John's Mother !!!!
