maybe it was a marriage then, and not dob for the mum as I first thought - i would imagine then that they had lots of earlier children>? And she would be one of the youngest? They would have been married almost 20 years before she was born!

Scottish birth certs do give dates of marriage for the parents - sometimes the dates are wrong - so that marriage could be the right one.

Will have to dig out the cert, can't remember off the top of my head. I feel like I'm surrounded by boxes and bags of paper at the moment in my study! (I'm a teacher...)

Will have to try that when I find it.

thanks,

What is the occupation of John Solomon?

Scottish census on Ancestry can be searched by occupation.

My great great grandad Harry Pudner (Henry?) married Mary Ann Solomon in JunQ 1890. She is down on the census as being born in Scotland in 1874. On the marriage certificate her father is down as John Solomon.

A kind GR member (sue lowrie?) managed to find her birth for me on Scotlands People a while ago, with it being registered in the parish of Greenock, mum's maiden name being Kellow and her birth date being May 1st 1872 at 11.50am, 3 Pellingborn St, Greenock.

Mary Ann Kellow had written under her name the following - June 2nd 1855 Truro England.

I've searched FreeBMD and found a birth for Mary Ann Kellow in Redruth Sep 1855.

On the census I thought I found the right Mary Ann Kellow (b Gwennap) but this wasn't her - she was still unmarried and with her family in 1881 census.

I've looked on the Scotland, England and Wales census for John, Mary and Mary and I can't find them. I also can't seem to find a marriage for John Solomon and Mary Ann Kellow anywhere! Can anyone help me work out where to go next please?

Thanks!
