Her 2nd marriage.  It doesn't say if she was a widow.   

Can you tell us what it says, was she 'single'?

Did William & Janet have any children & what's on their marriage certs. about William & when?

It seems to me William had no idea who his mother was or even when he was born or perhaps he was not completely honest about his age for a variety of reasons.

On her death registration she is listed as Mary Muirhead daughter of Thomas and Margaret Falconer born in Linlithgow.  Informant, William.  Yet there is no Thomas Muirhead/Falconer marriage and no children of this combination in Scotland.

In the 1881 Census he an "Mom" are living together, she is a Sommerville, he is listed as 44 and a miller, no spouse in Old Monkland, exactly the place she died. 

After looking through the Carluke births I am betting William's mother was likely Margaret Muir not a Muirhead married to Alexander not Abel/Ebenezer and, William was b 1845 in Carluke not 1836.   

Don't fret lots of women changed their given names for a host of reasons all which are beyond the mental capabilities of man.  Am I not right ladies?

Dear Don
Williams baptism states that his mother is Mary Muirhead - not Muir -.  He was born in 1836 not 1845
The information I provided is correct, 
I know what his Mothers death certificate says as I have that information.  I also have the 1881 census saying that his Mother is calling herself Somerville.  I also know that if they considered themselves married even though they just lived together,  just like today
The addresses all fit in with William as my Muirheads all lived at Gillhead so I thank you for your help but it's wrong

Tazzy - out of interest, where did you get the information that his father was called Abel/Ebenezer?

I've looked up every single William Summerville from 1881 onwards at Scotlands People centre today and found no trace so it looks like he either went to England or went abroad.
I checked up until 1936 ( he would have been 100).
Just asking if anyone could check English Census from 1891 onwards as he was on 1881 census living with his mother in Scotland
