Their children's birth certs should include date and place of parents' marriage. They may have passed themselves off as married though!

Annie died in December in 1892 and he married Christina in February 1893.  I am wondering if its possible he and Annie weren't together in 1891 and thats why I can't find them together on a census! Although I can't seem to find anyone, so who knows! Lol!

This is all I can see so far for 1891 in Dalziel. I think it is the James we had already who shows in 1901 with Maggie above:

Andrew McGimpsey 59 gen lab b.  Ireland
Bella McGimpsey 47 b. Ireland
James McGimpsey 19 b. Ireland
Agnes McGimpsey 16 b. Stonehouse, Lanarkshire
Thomas McGimpsey 11 b. Motherwell

Address: 39 Watsonville Dalziel

This family there too in 1881.

Hey

Sorry for the delay in getting back about this post.

James was married to 1/ Annie Thom 2/ Christina Cameron

He was listed as MCGEMCEY on his marriage cert to Annie Thom and was living at 20 Shieldmuir, Motherwell at time of their marriage.

Listed as MCGEMCEY on his marriage cert to Christina in 1893, made his mark so was illiterate.

1901 Census 70 Shieldmuir, Craigneuk

James McGempsy HEAD 41 Puddler Tollcross
Christina McGempsy WIFE 38 Dalziel
David McGempsy SON 18 Labourer Dalziel
Annie McGempsy DAU 14 Dalziel
Hugh McGempsy SON 12 Dalziel
Robert McGempsy SON 15 Labourer Dalziel
James McGempsy SON 3 Dalziel
Frank McGempsy SON 5 Dalziel
Alexander McGempsy SON 6m Dalziel

James' death cert lists as MCGIMPSEY. He died at 1.20am aged 43 years. Chronic bronchitis, 10 months. Registered by Christina McGimpsey, widow, by her mark.

James and Christina had 3 children (that I have been able to find). Christina was a 'character' and I'm trying not to judge her life - she was my 2xgreat granny after all but she had numerous relationships/marriages that resulted in children.

Francis was born 1896 in Motherwell.
James was born 23/4/1898 at 70 Shieldmuir, Motherwell and died 26/1/1902 at 106 Shieldmuir, Motherwell.
Alexander was born 2/10/1900 at 70 Shieldmuir.

Alexander married Annie McKee 25/8/1923 in the RC Church Craigneuk and had 2 children that I know  of - Annie McKee McGimpsey born 1923 and Alexander born Dec 1925 in 115 Wellington Place, Craigneuk and died 8/3/1926.
