I think he's another red herring.

1881 Census in Halifax, Yorkshire
Richard Gilson, 40, born Pocklington; Emma Gilson, 41, born York; Arthur Gilson, 14, born Redcar; Herbert Gilson, 12, born Crook; Edith Gilson, 11, born Selby and 5 more children.

GRO indexes
Herbert Gilson, mmn Thompson, born 1868, Auckland
Edith Gilson, mmn Thompson, born 1869, Selby

Richard Gilson married Emma Thompson in Scarborough in 1865.

Yes. But Red herrings are Ok, for elimination purposes. ;D

No, but there is a John Thomson, as per my previous reply.  I bought the cert from S.P.  But it is totally unreadable.  I have asked for a better image of it.  It could be either John or James.?!

As Susan Kennon had died the same year, iirc.  Perhaps his father remarried the Margaret highlighted in the 1861 Scottish Census.

On the death certificate fro Susan Kennon /Kenna, what is the cause of death? Something to do with with child birth, i imagine.

Congestion of the Lungs. 10 days.

How about this?

Death in Cardross, Dunbartonshire. Susan Thomson, married, died 30 April 1856, aged 39. Father John Kenna indexed on SP as Kennon), mother Elizabeth Kenna, maiden surname Baird. Registered by John Thomson, widower.

Address is hard to read - could be Thimble Street, Renton, Cardross.

PM me with your e-mail address if you want to see the whole certificate as I'm not allowed to post it complete.

Private message sent.  Thanks very much. :)

Checked for Old Monkland, nothing there.  But found a baptism at St Margarets, Airdrie.

Yes, Margaret was born to John Thomson and Sussana McLusky.  3 Mar 1844.
Sponsors, John Thomson & Bridget Sheridan.

Still not sure if this is the correct.!

The 1871 census for Chester England shows Margaret Gilson (nee Thomson) wife of Reuben as born in Dumbarton Scotland, about 1845.

In 1881 census the Gilson family is in Lancashire, and Margaret is still showing as born in Dumbartonshire. Two children with them John 10 born Dumbartonshire, and Levina 6 born Salford.
(The name Levina is interesting.)

Margaret (a widow, age 38) married again in 1885 Lancashire to Enoch Bedson. On the marriage record her father is John Thompson, deceased.

In the 1901 census, Margaret is still recorded as born in Dumbarton.

Yes, that's correct.

Who are the witnesses on the 1869 GILSON-THOMSON marriage certificate?

What church did they marry in?

Anderston, (Church of Scotland), Glasgow, as mentioned.  Witnesses were Hugh McClean & Elizabeth Stewart.
