That is correct -  Margaret was Henry’s aunt (John’s sister) & she was married to John Hamilton & the sister was called Sarah! But Sarah wasn’t single then she was married to a William Lafferty! I have found that census records aren’t always accurate!!

Ah sorry, getting mixed up with Henry's birth & their supposed marriage date! Yes probably a fictitious date, and strangely there is no death certificate for her either in Scotland, or in England. I am at a dead end with her?

Yes on the 1891 Census she is down as being born in Paisley Renfrew, but on all the census after she is down as either Ireland or Mayo, Ireland, and on my Grandfather William's WW2 Army records, she is down as being born in the 'Irish Free State'. On Henry's birth in 1887 she is down as Mary Gorman, MS Gaughan.

Renfrewshire / Paisley Marriage look up 1887

I am trying to find the marriage details of a John Gorman who married a Mary Gaughan in Paisley on the 19th of February 1887. The marriage is not listed on Scotlands People or in the OPR.  The marriage is only recored on the kids birth records. The majority of the family were all married in Abbey Burgh or St Mirin's around the same decade so it's very odd that this marriage is not recorded? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated  :)

Lanarkshire / Re: Barnhill Institute

I wonder if anyone can help? On the 1921 Census for Scotland my Gt-Grandmother Mary Gorman was living at 19 Rosemount Street, Glasgow, and she was listed as a 'W' widow, my GT-Grandfather was a Shoemaker (Journeyman) and Labourer and was not listed on the same census nor was he on the 1911 census, but she was recorded as being married on the 1911 one. Therefore, I think between 1911 & 21 she either kicked him out or he left her as he definitely died in 1929, and address at the time of death was a Lodging house on Main Street, Govan. On searching the 1921 census for him I found a name, age and area match for him, as a 'Patient' in Barnhill, and I think it is him, and would really like to get more information? Unfortunately, I live in Reading, England, and can't get up to Glasgow? The details are: 1921 census: John Gorman, age 62, Garngadhill, ref 644/5 49/ 25 - It would be great if someone could help with this  :)
