Although Helen is not noted on this list, there might be a chance she is the un-named female birth in 1864 in Ireland.

Helen's mother's death. If you look at the image on Scotlandspeople, the name of the informant may help to locate Helen on the earlier census.

James Thonson 34 b Glasgow

? Possible

MARY CURRIE

Birth:
23 FEB 1835
Christening:
26 FEB 1835 Craignish, Argyll, Scotland


Parents:
Father: COLIN CURRIE
Mother: JEAN MCPHAIL



Marriage: Colin Currie and Jane or Jean McPhail

COLIN CURRIE -
Gender: Male Marriage: 12 APR 1834 Kilmartin, Argyll, Scotland
COLIN CURRIE -
Gender: Male Marriage: 24 APR 1834 Craignish, Argyll, Scotland

Two entries ... Banns read out in both Jane and Colin's respective parishes.

I think I have found the death of Mary Thomson (McGillivray) at 48 Grace Street Anderson in 1885 aged 31. Father is John McGillivray a crofter who is deceased. Mother's maiden name is McKechnie (no first name) also deceased. I haven't been able to track down James' birth certificate as it is such a common name.

Margaret
