Kiltaglassan, thanks so much for the list! The date of death for Ellen is the same that i have so this is definitely them. I am assuming the other 3 named are their children but i haven't found records of them so i will try and look for them next!

Everyone is being so very helpful! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Kiltaglassan, i will try and find their births in the registers. All the help is much appreciated! At least now i have some definite answers. Didn't realise how hard it would be to find scottish information as the rest for my english relatives i have found quite easily and been able to match up. My Scottish and Irish ancestry has definitely been the hardest so far haha

Well, this is the marriage Neale recommended you download and look at fully. It should have way more information on it than a paltry English one! Like Mothers!

Family in 1911 with Walter’s son by his previous marriage:

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Down/Pottinger__part_of_/Montrose_Street/222383/

I would take the total number of children (7 born and 7 alive) with a pinch of salt. There’s no mention of any dead children whereas we know there were several. I looked for births 1901 - 1911:

Henry was born 27.9.1902
Annie 10.10.1904
John 15.10.1906
Thomas 22.2.1909

I don’t see a Norman but perhaps that’s Thomas. Possibly he was Thomas Norman. Check the birth cert and see. I didn't see any further children after 1911.
