Looking for leads

Closest I can see for a death for Mary Welsh is this one:

1944   Mary Welsh/Dougall, 72, in DALZIEL, LANARK, ref. 639/00 0251

You cannot tell from the index, for married women, which is the married surname or the maiden name unfortunately. You need to look at the actual image to confirm this.

Sorry, meant to also include this. The marriage details for parents from son John H Dougall's birth entry gives marriage as having taken place on 30 April 1888 in Cambusnethan. Can't see it, even playing around with dates, names and using wildcards for spelling variations. It may be that they did not actually marry or that it was an 'irregular' marriage that won't show on the statutory registers.

This might be husband Thomas in his first marriage in 1891 (I wonder if the 1901 census transcript is mis transcribed and has Thomas Snr. down as James  specially given son John's birth entry in 1898):

Thomas Dougal 36, coal miner b. Wishaw
Ann J Dougal 36 b. Airdrie, Lanark
Thomas Dougal 5 b. Wishaw
Mary A Dougal 3 b. Wishaw
John Dougal 2 Wks b. Overtown, Lanark

Address: Wemysshill Row, Cambusnethan

Added: I keep on going on about birth of a John Hendry Dougal  - it's James Hendry Dougal as showing on the 1901 census.

This might help 

Marriage showing for a NINA HENDRY in 1914 in Cambusnethan. I've spent on units now so can't check further  Also a death showing in Lanarkshire in 1972 (outside of the period you can view on line) for a Nina Hendry b. 1892.

this has to be them.  I've been on the right path, just veered off a little.  I'm a beginner at all this!  I'll have to confirm all of this and what not, but this MUST be them.  Everything adds up almost perfectly.  Monica, you've just made my day!!!!!

Let us know how you get on

Found this one

1897 DOUGALL THOMAS and WELSH MARY at CAMBUSNETHAN /LANARK

That must be it Sancti  I wonder why they said 1888 - 1897 makes perfect sense given their first born son James was born in 1898 - maybe they felt they had been together for ever
