Monica and Rosie. Just to let you know I purchased a copy of the court case. It told me little more than the summary. The only additional information was the child was to be handed back.
Thank you very much for your help. Something will turn up one day.

Thank you Rosie and Monica.
I will ordered the Court record now. I wasn't sure there would be much more in it but may of course mention Margaret Storrie's relationship. Age 80 in 1861 sounds like a good age for a grandmother.
I will also purchase the birth record for Andrew Pollock.
Margaret Cook married Henry McCully 21 Jun 1861. I have the census for 1861 when she is lodging with Margaret Wilson.
As for William's occupation - would a coal heaver work underground?
Regards
Olwyn

Thank you Monica. You have been searching hard on my account. The line I am following is Cook. Trying to get back a generation from Margaret Cook. I know her parents are William Cook and Marion Pollock. Other than names I have nothing on them. William shows as deceased on Margaret's marriage certificate (1861) but not Marion.
For all my searching I have not found a baptism for Maggie or a marriage for her parents. To be honest I'm not a 100% sure this is the correct family it's just the details on the court case fit nicely.
I don't mind buying a certificate or 2 or 3 but I just don't know where to start. There are so many Pollocks and Cooks and none quite hit the mark. I thought if I could find Margaret Storrie I might be able to work out her place in all of this. Was she family (grandmother?) or friend?
At a guess I'm putting Marion's birth late 1820s and her parents late 1700s - early 1800s
Margaret never named a son Andrew and she had 8. Her 2nd son was James. William was her 6th son. I am going to purchase the 1911 census record to check the number of children, living v deceased. Maybe I have it completely wrong. I can't even find Margaret in 1851 unless she was working as a servant at age 11.
Thank you for all your help.

Hello Doddsie4
I purchased this through Scotlandspeople. Andrew's occupation is not a fit. He is listed as a Ironstone Caster living in High Street. Otherwise I thought it looked good.

This link is from the Scottish indexes - Register of Extracted Decrees.
I was thinking of purchasing this record but going by the example given I doubt if will give me any additional helpful information. If you think otherwise I would take the plunge.
https://www.scottishindexes.com/courttranscript.aspx?courtid=35001023
Pursuer Marion Pollock, daughter of and residing with Andrew Pollock (Grocer, Airdrie), Stirling Street, Airdrie
Defender Margaret Storrie, High Street, Airdrie
Child's Date of Birth 1845
Year Extract Issued 1848
Sheriff Court Airdrie
County Lanarkshire
NRS Reference SC35/7/1 p. 300
Notes The defender Margaret Storrie of High Street, Airdrie is currently in posession of the pursuer's 3 year old illegitimate son (date of birth not given), which she has been asked to hand over to the pursuer (the child's father is William Cook, Underground M.
I am trying to find any of the people mentioned in this record in either the 1841 or 1851 census. I would think unless Andrew Pollock died between 1848 and 1851 being a grocer he would still be at the same address. I have searched for every grocer named Andrew but nothing comes up for Stirling Street.
I have no idea of anyone's ages. The only clue is William Cook and Marion's daughter Margaret Cook was born circa 1843 in Old Monkland. On Margaret's marriage certificate her father is deceased. Her mother is listed as Marion Cook m/s Pollock but I cannot find a marriage certificate for William Cook to Marion Pollock.
Unlike the England and Wales census I cannot scroll through page by page. Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
