Sherry

I'm thinking that the certs that I've found might well be of Alex Sherry. I've been looking at the map and Banknock is fairly close to Kilsyth:

If this is so, the only way to obtain the certs, if you can't get to Edinburgh or one of the larger Records Offices,  is via the GROS:

Added - Thanks Simon I think it must be him then

Think the one that I've found is him, Simon. I've just looked in my book.

Details are; Alexander (Alex) Paterson Sherry (the SP record has truncated the Paterson to Pater)
Born 8 Feb 1908, Banknock Died 1966
Then all the football info that you've put up 

So if J can get the certs it will give parents names.

We're there then, Simon 

Here they are in 1901:

5 Watsonville, Motherwell
639 ED 18 Household no. 38

John Sherry, 29, coal miner, b.Cumbernauld
Mary, 26, b. Slamannan
Maggie, 9, b. Slamannan
Mary, 5, b. Slamannan
John, 9 months, b. Motherwell

 John, aged 9 months on the 1901 also had Paterson as a middle name.

As does a probable sister Sarah b. Kilsyth, 1909

I think it's worth using some units on the parents' marriage cert now
