I do not have a marriage certificate for their marriage but I do have the birth certificate for Mary Campbell she was born 21st November 1901 in Lochgilphead
Jessie Docherty was born 26th May 1930 Port Glasgow and Mary Docherty (the baby that died at birth)18th March 1931
Mary Docherty (nee Campbell) was caught pregnant out of marriage, which was a disgrace back in the day. Her parents and family disowned Mary and shunned her. Mary and John did get married before Jessie was born. When John Docherty died, friends of Mary and John informed Mary's family in Lochgilphead, but was told they were not interested in the child and wanted nothing to do with her.
Therefore Jessie was brought up by friends in Port Glasgow. I am finding it very difficult to find anything out about John
