Hello Sandra,
Thank you for keeping looking it is much appreciated, I have found certificates for John Linwood a Dyer marriage to Elizabeth Kirk Bleacher her father is shown as Joseph Kirk Field Labourer and Elizabeth Miller his mother. John Lynwood's father was a schoolmaster dec. on the certificate mother Jane Linwood they live in New Town Milgavie New Kilpatrick for the father the mother was at Westend Milngavie New Kilpatrick that's in 1871.
I found a death certificate 1887 for Elizabeth Miller widow of William Miller Fish Curer at 22 Cathcart Street Glasgow father Donald Kirk Farmer mother Catherine Sutherland
Elizabeth Linwood widow of John Linwood dyer, Main Street Paisley father Joseph Kirk mother Elizabeth Miller the informant of her death was Jane McColl who I find Jane McMeekin Linwood married to Alexander McColl and later to James McAlpine she died in 1935 this is the same person who was witness to John Gordons Marriage as far as I can see,
I looked at the Elizabeth Kirks born in Ireland and can't decide if there is a match however I'm going to look at another census of a John Linweeod who appears on 1861 census with a mother Gean McMeichan she was born in Stoneykirk Wigtown she was living in Glasgow St George Lanarkshire at the time of the 1861 census.
