Hi

You need to look up his birth on Scotlands People to find his mothers maiden name and year of marriage.  SP is a paysite

That info will help you to find his parents marriage also on SP which will give both of their parents names and their mothers maiden name

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Think I've found your man ... was this Robert who died 2001 in Paisley? If so, the death index on the aforementioned ScotlandsPeople gives his mum's maiden name as Hughes.

This would correspond nicely with a marriage between Robert Ewing and Catherine Hughes, 1912, in Paisley.

Details from 1912 marriage certificate:

Married at St Mirin's Church, Paisley on the 1st January 1912, according to the Forms of the RC Church.

Robert Ewing was 23 and a ship's rigger. His parents were John Ewing, baker and Mary Lang Ewing m.s. Hart (dec.).

Catherine was 21 and a laundry worker. Her parents were Felix Hughes, iron turner (?) and Rose Hughes m.s. Gurlin.

Witnesses were Hugh Hughes and Mary McKinnon.

There are deaths for Robert in 1955 aged 67 and Catherine in 1968 aged 78, both in Paisley.

and Rose Hughes m.s. Gurlin

This is a submitted IGI entry with several errors but I wonder if Rose's maiden name was Carlin which is a good old Irish surname (it was my maiden name!!)

I am also researching this family.

John Ewing & Mary Lang Hart married 1873, I have been able to locate 7 children, their son William is the grandfather of my mothers sister.

I don't have anything directly on Robert, only that he was born 1888c.
