Hello debz and [TS_welcome]

Is this the family in 1881?

89 New St, Rutherglen, Lanarkshire
Cornelius Cotter, 29, Head, born Ireland, Railway Labourer
Agnes Cotter, 26, Wife, born Kilwinning, Ayrshire
Cornelius Cotter, 3, Son, born Rutherglen, Lanarkshire
Annie Cotter, 1, Daughter, born Rutherglen, Lanarkshire
Maggie Duffy, 17, Sister-in-law, born Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Power Loom Weaver

What kind of information are you looking for? Do you have their marriage certificate? If it took place in Scotland then their parents' names should be on it.

Do you have all of the census records for this family? Their death certificates?

It would be helpful to know what you already have and what you are looking for, then we know what to look for.

All the best,
Sarah

Hi again,
Just from playing with the search function on scotlandspeople.gov.uk it looks like Cornelius and Agnes were married in Rutherglen in 1878. Do you have that document? What were their parents' names?

Regards,
Sarah

Hello Debz,

Just questions. :D

Where did William and Jeanie marry, what was her occupation and address? Who were the witnesses?

Regards,
Annette
