There are 4 Elizabeth Hallidays showing in the period 1890 - 1892 born Lanarkshire. You would need to view the list to decide which is the right one.

It looks like your grandparents married in the BLYTHSWOOD District GLASGOW in 1913.
If you go to the following website you will be able to see acopy of their marriage registr which will show you both sets of parents names including both the Mum's maiden names

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

You will need to register first which will only take a few mins, then buy credits which cost £6 for 30. It's 1 credit to do a search & a further 5 to see the register (online without a wait).

Loooks like her middle name was "Bell"

I am having trouble finding any info on my nan, her name was Elizabeth Halliday, she was born approx 1890, i think it was Lanarkshire, Glasgow, she married John Walker on 29/04/1913. John was born in 1888, he served in the indian war.

Many Thanks Georgina
