Midlothian / Re: Helen Jack - please help solve parents puzzle?

It's been a while since I looked at this. I have on my tree now the names given on the marriage certificate ie Thomas Jack and Euphemia Allan. I do have death dates for them both - Thomas 15.10.1858 and Euphemia 10.4.1860. Since Ellen remarried in September 1858, it was right enough that neither of her parents were listed as deceased at the time.
As Forfarian has said, I have come to realise that birth and marriage records are more reliable than death records!
