She must have looked young and married two years after having a baby (Archibald 1865), or maybe the baby was from Archibalds first wife. She was ahead of her time like younger men. 15 years younger.Kym, do you mean the grandmother registered the birth?
Her husband may have died and she remarried a man called Bannatyne
Also, Archibalds 1st wife may have died and he remarried Augusta McLean
His death certificate may confirm this

Where have you looked?
I see your first family at St Nimans Point in North Bute on Ancestry in 1851.
James sr was a fisherman born in Largs. His wife Elizabeth was born in Millport.
Archibald was born in Largs also and is also listed as a fisherman.
There's a tree on Ancestry with this family in too belonging to an Isobel Gilmour - any relation? If not, it might be worthwhile taking out a 14 day trial.
There were many other Glen families on Bute at the time too, undoubtedly some are related.

Good morning Anna
Thanks for taking the time to look for me and replying. I was interested in Ancestry.com and have started a tree until Kym Glen. I was due to use the trial until I saw on the internet that they billed people after they cancelled the trial. I have been using Scotlands People and have downloaded the Censors along with other documents.
But my problem is on the birth cert. from Archibald Glens daughter (Margaret Bruce Glen1858) it shows the grandmothers maiden name as Bannatyne (also born Millport). But earlier the family at St Nimans Point, she has Williams or Williamson on the birth cert. from the kids. Now I'm unsure if this is the correct family? I also have Elizabeth aged 70 in the 1871 census living with the son Archibald Glen, but he has a new wife it seems and is now living in Ayrshire and not Rothesay any more.
I have Archibald Glen born 1835 having three children, Elizabeth Williamson Glen 1860, James Glen 1861 Shown as Illegitimate and Archibald Glen 1864. I found Archibald in Familysearch.org with Janet Glen as the mother, but no records in Scotlands people. But there I found an Archibald Glen 1865 with Archibald Glen 1835 and Agusta/Augusta Glen as the birth mother. I don't know if this is the same Archibald Glen 1835 from Rothesay and if he remarried and moved to Ayrshire. I didn't think was the done thing at this time.
Elizabeth carries the Grandmother maiden name Williamson which make sense, but why has Elizabeth Williamson written Bannatyne on the granddaughter's born cert?
I would be gratefully with any help Anna or input, as I've spend hours on end looking and found no clear answer. We're going to Scotland in a few months for the first time and I was hoping to have it sorted a bit more by then.
Thanks and best regards
Kym Glen
