William Copland's army record is on Ancestry. His next of kin is given as Mrs Elizabeth Copland of 133 Jamieson Street and the record shows he married Elizabeth Irvine on 25th January 1900 in Glasgow and had two children - Janet Birrell Copland Nov 1900 and William Copland 1909
Scotlandspeople have a marriage in 1900 between William Copland and Lizzie J Irving and births of children Janet Irving Copland b Hutchesontown in 1900 and William Sellars Copland b 1909 Hutchesontown.
I think there is some confusion caused by Rosie17's reply #1 ( sorry Rosie17) where she has recorded the two sons of William Copland and Elizabeth in 1881 as Parker. Only John is recorded as Parker on the original census record, William jnr is recorded as Copland. William jnr is the son of William Copland and Elizabeth Wilson ( previously married to Parker).
Strange that the marriage certificate of William and Catherine in 1888 does not indicate he was a widower. Elizabeth Copland/Wilson/Parker had only just died that same year.

Obviously some confusion about  the mother of William Copland born 1877. He definitely seems to be the son of William Copland and Elizabeth Wilson/Parker.
Also confused about where the 1901 census info for William jnr came from. Scotlandspeople have his wife as Elizabeth J Copland ( not McArthur) and daughter as Janet J Copland ( ditto previous).

Note the McArthur info is from Ancestry. Both FindMyPast and Scotlandspeople have Copland for wife and daughter. How can they get it so wrong!!

Yes they do get things wrong  Army records have the the correct name for the wife and I did say
William  was the son of Elizabeth Wilson and William Copland

I was referring to confusion on the Ancestry trees. You gave the correct information 😀

Thanks Isobel

Thanks Rosie & Isoblew,
It will take me some time to chew all your information. Don't you just love the way Scotland naming sequences go......William after William after William/!?
I have now taken up a magnifying glass and can see that on the William Copland/Catherine Dargavel Marriage Certificate it does say that William is a widower. (missed that before )
Currently I am working on the generation before i.e. James Dargavel Copland and will gradually get the info from Scotlands people.
Appreciate all your help.
