Hi Susie

The IGI has a John Reid Wardlaw born Pittenweem 2nd Nov 1861,  father James Reid Wardlaw, mother Helen Drummond.

There is also a marriage between James Reid Wardlaw & Helen Drummond at Pittenweem 19th Sept 1861.

The LDS transcribed Scottish births & marriages between 1855 when registration commenced & 1875 direct from the registers and all births & marriages should have been included irrespective of  religion.

It looks like James REID was Helen's second husband, her first being a DRUMMOND.  Also likely that her maiden name was BLACK as her eldest child carries that surname.
