Dea, that report doesn't necessarily mean the John and Helen weren't married. In Scotland, for legal purposes, we married women don't lose our maiden names. My great grandfather was mugged in the 1890s and his wife's statement describes her as Annie McVey or Ross and they were certainly married. |

It doesn't look as if they were actually 'married' : |

This lady was born c1884,probably in Glasgow area.I have her marriage certificate in 1905 to Thomas Devine.She's given as aged 20,with parents given as John Docherty & Helen (nee Campbell).I cannot find her birth with these parents details,nor can I find her parents marriage.(I have found an 1871 entry on Scotlands People for a John & Ellen Campbell,& also one in 1889,but they don't seem to fit 100% ? Struggling with census info too.I can't find all 3 on 1891 or 1901 censuses,& can't find a John & Helen on 1881 I have found a census entry for them stating John born 1855 in Kirkintilloch,with Helen born there too in 1857,but,again,it doesn't seem to fit 100%. I've found a Helen born 1856 in Kirkintilloch,& that could possibly be correct. |
