Hello Mary Woodbine,
I do have some information on her, I wonder how you connect with this woman? She was born 05 April 1878, at 70 Suffolk Street, Kinning Park, Glasgow. She died 27 May 1913 at 11 Palin Street, Cowcaddens, Glasgow. This property then passed to her sister Annie Reid Taylor, who was married to James McLuckie. I am their descendant. Or, alternatively, they were in the same "close" of a tenement so had the same address? The marriage seems to have been one of some tragedy, and I expect it may have been contracted in full knowledge of her imminant passing. Her cause of death is given as "Ulceration of the Palate, Pharynx and Larnyx" along with "Septic Pneumonia". Pretty horrific set of medical issues.
Her husband Alexander Drummond passed on 08 September 1926 aged 53 at the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow. His cause of death oesophagal cancer. By that time he had re-married to Eliza Niven Neilson Gregor, born about 1878 and died 20 September 1942 at the Southern General Hospital, Glasgow from cancer. I note on the marriage certificate of Alexander and Margaret, he is listed as "Formerly married" though this mysterious first wife isn't given on his death certificate, I expect a nasty divorce maybe? She was apparently still alive as "Widowed" would have been written otherwise.
Eliza too had been married previously to a man of surname "Meechan" or "Meehan". I expect that marriage was contracted elsewhere, because I can't find a record for it in Scotland. It's an Irish surname, maybe it was out there? No idea if this was separation or divorce.
So are you connected? If you have any photographs it'd be amazing. I have a photograph of Annie Reid Taylor and her husband James McLuckie, which you might be interested in if you are interested in Margaret Taylor.
Best Wishes,
Anthony
