Thank you Neale and Debra, this is great!
I was stumped by this, (was looking for Olderslaw and Livingstone as written in the marriage index)

Midlothian / Jean Olderslaw Livingstone married in Cockpen in 1959
« on: Thursday 05 June 25 22:56 BST (UK) »
Despite this lady having a very unusual middle name (to me anyway) I am unable to find any other info about her - parents, origins, etc.
I am searching on behalf of the lady's granddaughter.
Can anyone help?
TIA

Renfrewshire / Braidwood - from Johnstone, Paisley, and surrounds c 19th century
« on: Saturday 04 January 25 15:22 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I am hoping some insightful people can help me out here. (Especially anyone researching Braidwood (sometimes Broadwood) surname in Renfrewshire.
I have a couple in Paisley : Alexander Renfrew (1832-1910) and Ann Braidwood (1840-1888), married 1860, 2nd Feb at Johnstone, Renfrew. (559/3/9)
His parents are William Renfrew and Mary Braidwood (1808-1873), and hers as John Braidwood (1815-1866) and Isabella Husband. It stated below the bride's occupation "cousins" which fits with his mother and her father both having Braidwood as a surname. When loading my findings to a family tree in Ancestry it suggests potential parents for John Braidwood as being the same as those for Mary Renfrew, nee Braidwood (ie James Braidwood and Janet Hodgart), which seems feasible, and some other ancestry members seem to have followed that hint. However, I later found John Braidwood's death cert in 1866 (559/3 61) and it states his parents as Matthew Braidwood and Janet Hodgart.
The 1808 OPR for 559/Abbey page 381 of 593 states Janet Hodgart m. James "Broadwood" but I cannot find a marriage for a Matthew Braidwood and Janet Hodgart, or to anyone else for that matter. There seems to be precious little documentary evidence of Matthew Braidwood.
I am wondering if the original bride and groom mentioned above, Alexander Renfrew and Ann Braidwood, were second cousins and not "cousins", and that his mother and her father were cousins, not siblings, and it was the generation above them that contained Braidwood siblings.
But then there's the situation where Janet Hodgart apparently married and/or had children with James Braidwood and also Matthew Braidwood. I know that isn't impossible but I'm struggling to find the proof to work all this out.
I hope I have made things as clear as possible above, but I just can't make sense of a likely scenario.
I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions.
Many thanks in advance.

All I know (prior to all the subsequent info I have been provided with on here) is he was a widower when he married in Glasgow in 1930 aged 36, and working as a newspaper checker.
No sign of a death in the Scottish records under the name F.A.L.
He did list his father as Ernest Lodge, a hotel proprietor, on his wedding certificate, but someone found elsewhere that his dad was a carman in London.
Maybe he was - in Glasgow parlance - a "chancer" and tried to make himself seem grander to his 18 year old bride than he actually was.
Who knows, maybe some time after this marriage he reinvented himself under another name? (as my 2x great grandfather did to conceal 2 bigamous marriages)

« on: Tuesday 12 December 23 09:30 GMT (UK) »I think she is probably Ellen in 1881, living in Islington with her sister Mary Ann ELTON, and brother-in-law Joseph.
COLLOR, ELLEN
Mother's maiden surname: BELL
GRO Reference: 1859 J Quarter in WEST HAM UNION Volume 04A Page 4The friend whose family tree I am researching believes that Nellie Collor was of Spanish origin.
It looks like her parents are from Essex, so a bit further north.

We all make mistakes. Thank you for this information.
Indeed thank you all for your incredible help. The info is coming in faster than I can presently process it. There's much to take it when I get the chance over the festive period.
