Hi,

Did a search on Scotlands People for their marriage.

Alexander Smith to Marion Caulderwood (used soundex on caulderwood) and there is a marriage in Milngavie in 1922. Didnt have any credits to check what the spelling of Caulderwood was.

If this was yours you can get the image and it would give you both of their parents names ( scottish certs have more information than English ones)

Hope this helps,

Susan

In addition to above...did the search again with the soundex off and its an Alexander Smith to a Marion CALDERWOOD

From the information you provided for Marion's family, this look like a possibility for her family in the 1901 index:

James Calderwood 45, hairdresser, b. Kilmarnock, Ayreshire
Maggie Calderwood 39, b. Kilmarnock, Ayreshire
James Calderwood 21, painter, b. Kilmarnock, Ayreshire
Bella Calderwood 17, Printfield Worker, b. Kilmarnock, Ayreshire
M D Maggie Calderwood    16, Printfield Worker, b. Glasgow
M E Maggie Calderwood    13, Printfield Worker, b. Kilmarnock, Ayreshire
Lily Calderwood 10, b. Govan
Marion Calderwood 6, b. Dumbn, Dumbartonshire
Marion McGill    10, visitor, b. Irvine, Ayrshire

Address: 17 Burnside St, Dumbarton

Hopefully Alexander and Marion's MC will confirm parents' names.

Regards.
