If Hugh and Hester had any children born in Scotland the child's birth certificate should list date and place of parents' marriage.

As I said before:

If Hugh and Hester had any children born in Scotland the child's birth certificate should list date and place of parents' marriage.

Thought it was stange that all children except Mary were born in Scotland. 1901 Census for Scotland shows Hugh and Ester (a form of Hester) living in Ardrossan with all children (except Francis born 1902), including Mary, born in Ardrossan. Susan is Susanna and Hester is Ester like the mother.

This might be John Welsh's marriage - there aren't many listed:
24 March 1857
John WELSH to Sophia(!) McLAUGHLIN
Newtownstewart First Presbyterian Church,
Ardstraw,
Strabane,
Co. Tyrone.
So maybe Hugh was born in Co. Tyrone.
