No marriage in Scotland but on FreeBMD there is a marriage for a Gladys D Bain in March 1943, Croydon. That fits with the Croydon address on her mother's death registration.

From these details, this likely birth:

GLADYS DAVIDSON BAIN 1915 ref 162/ 28 - Mortlach

Monica

ADDED:  Yes, noticed that SP is off line tomorrow. That sometimes can mean lots of new additions  :o but then, I am always hopeful  ;)

BTW 133 Balornock Road is Stobhill Hospital. It's not unusual, when people die in an institution, for the death certificate just to have a street address without the name of the institution being listed.

That's interesting - good to know. Why is that??

Good spotting - I couldn't make out the witness on Jane's DC as her daughter!

I don't really know, but maybe it was thought that it was more tactful. I can certainly see that in the case of a prison or mental hospital or poorhouse.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

FreeBMD has two births of McSteens, mother's surname, Bain, both registered in Croydon. I can't post names etc as they may still be living.
