Marriage for Susan and David is on SP isn't it, 1882 in Port Glasgow.

And in 1891:

David Rodgers 36 coal dealer b, Donegal*
Susan Rodgers 30 b. Port Glasgow
David Rodgers 8 b. Port Glasgow
Margaret Rodgers 7 b. Port Glasgow
Mary Jane Rodgers 3 b. Clydebank, Dumbartonshire
Rebecca Rodgers 2 Months b. Clydebank, Dumbartonshire
William Mcelhiney 23 boarder b. Donegal

Address: 7 Elgin St, Clydebank, Old Kilpatrick

So you have all the details to confirm that Mary Jane's mother was Susan McCrory (birth and marriage). It is only in her death registration that the informant has made a mistake with her mother's details isn't it. A pain when this happens, but it did happen that mistakes crept in if the informant made mistakes or simply didn't know the right details.

Monica

PS: Lots of potential siblings showing for David in Donegal on Family Search indexes, with parents David and Mary (Curran).

Hi I have a dilemma. I am trying to work out the Madden surname of the parents of Mary Jane Rodger (Orr) it looks like Mary Jane Gordon but when i look for a Marriage certificate on SP i cannot find one. I know David was Married to Susan McCrory who died 1901 and assume he re-married as he was relatively young. Any tips help would be appreciated.
Susan McCrory is my ancestor .Her mum was Mary Madden or Maddigan .She was born in Ireland and married John McCrory in Ireland then immigrated to the Port .
