Hello
I am looking for a marriage for William Brown born 1862 the Glasgow area his first child was 1882
His wifes maiden name was ALLAN
fOUND A COUPLE OF MARRIAGES BUT THE YEAR WAS WAY OUT
THANK YOU
PAULINE

If he married in Scotland you need Scotlands People website which is pay to view and not a subs site I,m afraid

You could narrow the year down by looking at the birth of any children they had and listed on the later census

How did you get back to him?

What was the child's name? Where was it born?

How do you know the maiden name of William's wife?

Eight possibilities

1 1882 BROWN ANDREW ALLAN AGNES GORBALS GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/12 0567
2 1880 BROWN JAMES ALLAN ELIZABETH BRIDGETON GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/01 0281
3 1876 BROWN THOMAS ALLAN ELIZABETH BLYTHSWOOD GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/07 0053
4 1875 BROWN JOHN ALLAN EUPHEMIA C CALTON (GLASGOW) GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/04 0099
5 1881 BROWN JAMES ALLAN JANET M RUTHERGLEN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 654/00 0103
6 1881 BROWN ROBERT RAMAGE ALLAN JESSIE MILLER RUTHERGLEN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 654/00 0093
7 1876 BROWN ROBERT ALLAN KATIE HUTCHESONTOWN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/11 0188
8 1876 BROWN ROBERT ALLAN MARGARET ANDERSTON GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/10 0119

Unless you can narrow it down can't hep (not enough credits)

Jude

None of those has the forename William

What was William's wife's first name?

If they married in Scotland, there are these two - the years are possible, but not in Glasgow area.

1881 BROWN WILLIAM ALLAN JANET DUNFERMLINE /FIFE 424/00 0013

1877 BROWN WILLIAM ALLAN MARGERY ST ANDREW (EDINBURGH) EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/02 0118

tHANK YOU jUDE

???????????????????

What was the name of his first child please? Where was the child born? Where did the child marry?

How do you know William's year of birth please? How do you know that he married in Glasgow?

Do you know for sure that he was the father of the first child?

You say he was born in "the Glasgow area" - what does that mean?
What exactly does the info you have found say?

If he wasn't the father of the first child. or at least wasn't married to the mother, this marriage might be a possibility.
At least it's roughly in "the Glasgow area". (That's assuming he was married there as well as born there.)

Pauline -
We really can't look constructively for anything until you tell us ALL the information you have about William, his wife, and children.
Without that we're just floundering in the dark.

Looked at her birth registration. Her mother was Sarah Gordon and her parents were married in 1886. She was born in 1888. Have you got the correct details please?

Yes this is the one thanks
Was just trying to find the connection how she is his neice

Here's William with his wife in 1891. If you buy some credits for Scotlandspeople you can look for his marriage using his wife's first name.

When you find his wife's maiden surname, that should help to determine whether Marion is his niece or the niece of his late wife.
