Hi Joy,
Thanks for the welcome.
Anne, yes i'm decended from William Neilson & Elizabeth Struthers.
I've traced Helen & Marion Struthers;
Marion Struthers married John Wilson 22nd May 1853 in Glasgow. She died 2nd July 1876 in Glasgow. John Wilson (a stone mason) was born 1829 in Glasgow / died 20th May 1890 in Glasgow.
Helen Struthers married John Brown (also a stone mason) on 18th July 1845 in Cambuslang. They had two children born in Rutherglen in 1846 and 1848, but in 1851 John was described as a widow. John Brown was born 1823 in Rutherglen and died 29th May 1887 in Paisley.
I have images of the death certificates if you would like me to forward copies?
I've traced the other children and have found marriage / census and death records for all but James Struthers (I found him in 1851 in Glasgow, but by 1861 his wife was a widow - not sure when / where he died).
As for Agnes Struthers and her parents they were living at Sauchidyke in 1841 but by 1851 i'm pretty sure they must all have died. There's no mention in either East Kilbride / Cambuslang burial records on Scotlands people during that period for any of them - could they have been buried elsewhere or are there gaps in the burial registers?
What sort of information do you have on William and Margaret's children?
