Info only, Iv'e had great fun trying to sort this out, all the different surnames, Bain, Reilly & Buchanan.

Thomas Reilly born 22.7.1869 Dublin North-parents John Reilly & Charlotte Bell

Thomas Rilley Bain marries Mary McArthur 7.7.1891. Info on marriage cert makes interesting reading.

2 children born William Bain c1893 & Nellie c1895

Thomas Bain formerly Reilly dies 19.12.1945 aged 76. Again death cert makes interesting reading.

.......................................

Mary Reilly born 9.7.1871 Dublin North-parents John Reilly & Charlotte

Mary R B Buchanan marries Thomas Armstrong McLean 1905.

Mary Anne B McLean/Reilly dies aged 94 in 1965

...............

As said all certificates make interesting reading.

SS

Just found list of death certificate on Scotlands people and it shows 3 with 3 different spouses named!!! 
  Havn't opened any as might just be too big a rabbit hole to go down
  Never seen this before.

  Thanks, I think.

 From what I can make out, John and Charlotte were married in July 1869, Thomas was born in
 November 1869 (both events in Ireland)  then just under 3 years later she marries William in
 Scotland?

 
  Many thanks to all who helped with this. Info you've found has been very helpful.
  We had always been told that there was an Irish connection somewhere but nobody had known
  where. Looks like you good people may just have found it.
  Although I'm still unclear as to why he would swap around with his surname.
  Can I ask "Softly Softly" if that except does indeed confirm an Irish birth for Charlotte and did it
  have a date? Reilly info would be appreciated, maybe help us further clarify any Irish details.
 
  Thanks again to you all
  All the best

 

 I think I am confused.
 From a search on Scotlands' People
  I was looking for death of Charlotte Buchanan, nee Bell in 1918, married to         
  William Bain Buchanan, and got this (correct details in all aspects but....}
  "Charlotte Bain
 formerly Buchanan
 Widower of 1st John Reilley, bootmaker
 2nd William Buchanan
 formerly Bain, Private 2nd battalion
 Royal Scots Fusileers"

  Can anyone explain what this this is telling me please
  Did he or she alter their surname with middle?

  (I do get the 1st widower bit)

  Cheers

 Not sure if anything that will identify this group, but I have a relative in there somewhere.
  Hoping to get a lead to where to look for info if someone can identify which army group they
  belong to.

 Cheers
