Lanarkshire / Re: Euphemia Bell, born 1863, City Poorhouse, dau of Jane Bell, father unknown

Her marriage and death list John Laidley as her father. There is no RCE adding him to her birth record.
Euphemia's mother married John Laidley in 1870, seven years after she was born. While it is possible he was her father, it doesn't seem to make sense that he would have been in a relationship with a woman for seven years, had a child with her, then married her, and would not have acknowledged his child with her.

Sorry, I ought to have given more information about the family. This family has six generations of women called Euphemia, so it is confusing at times.
Euphemia Bell's mother was Jane Bell (1844-1893). Jane Bell's parents were Colin Bell and Euphemia McDougall. Jane's mother is with the family in the 1841 census, but she is not with them in the 1851 census, so she may have died sometime between 1841 and 1851. I found a burial record for a Euphemia McDougall in 1847, which may be her. It is from the OPR, so there isn't much information. Colin's death certificate indicates that he was a widower, so his wife has died by 1857.
Euphemia's mother Jane married John Laidley in 1870, about 7 years after her daughter was born. Jane later married Donald Campbell after John died in 1884.
Rosie17, you are correct; this Euphemia Bell is the one who married James Irvine.

Lanarkshire / Euphemia Bell, born 1863, City Poorhouse, dau of Jane Bell, father unknown

Greetings,
I'm looking for suggestions to identify the father of Euphemia Bell, born 25th Sep 1863 in the City Poor House. Her mother was Jane Bell, employed as a domestic servant at 13 Houston St. The birth certificate indicates she was illegitimate and there is no father listed. Euphemia's birth was registered in Tradeston.
Someone at the City Archives researched the Poor House records and did not find anything for Jane or Euphemia.

Hello,
I am the Anne who was mentioned earlier in this thread; Sarah Irvine, daughter of James Irvine and Margaret Wilson Walker was my grandmother. I'd love to exchange notes and photos with anyone else who is researching these Irvines.
I'm particularly interested to know if anyone knows the identity of Euphemia Bell's father. She was the wife of James Irvine 1862-1930, and the mother of James, Andrew, Jeanie, and Euphemia. She used the surname Laidley/Laidlaw at times, but her birth is recorded under her mother's surname, Bell.
Best regards,
Anne
