Can anyone tell me how I can get more info on this assault that I've found on FMP
1884 High Street Linlithgow Martin Arthur a currier was charged with ( wife beating) assault on his wife and children he was sentenced to 30 in prison
Not sure if it is the Martin Arthur that I'm following so I was wondering if any one can tell me where I might get more info on this case to prove if it is my Martin Arthur

My Martin was married to Jane Wilson in 1881 she was head of house living in Midlothian still married? No sign of Martin from 1871 -1891 in Lanark as father living with daughter his wife is also there

But if your martin married in 1881 would he have several childen by 1884

What was his occupation on the mariage cert

Have you found jane on later census .s

So he was a currier

Sorry it was in the 1881 census not that they married in 1881 they married in 1866

Is this the family you refer to? In 1881 Jane Head of house (not married in 1881 - as your OP can read)

Yes That is the family but no sign of Martin he shows up again in 1901 Jane dies in 1907 stating her 1st husband Martin Arthur a currier dec and her 2nd John Robertson
dec. No sign of a marriage for Jane & John Robertson ? and Martin Arthur didn't die until 1916

I should say that their was a daughter Isabel McCullock Wilson/Arthur born 1881 Edinburgh no sign of a birth certificate but it shows up on ancestry apparently Jane says Martin Arthur isn't the father

The 1881 birth does exist.

An illegitimate child is entitled to use a mother's maiden name or the same name used by the mother

Mother's married name at time of birth was Arthur and this child is entitled to use both Arthur or Wilson which is why one birth is indexed under both names

Who signed the 1907 death cert?
Is it possible that Jane was never married to John Robertson and could he have been the biological father of the child named Isabella?

This child does not appear on any census return and there is no matching, infant death ?

Thank you for that I had a look ??
