Edward Wheelan died in Dalziel in 1887. 

Could this be Mary in the Poorhouse in 1891?

SP has a birth as follows:

20/9/1840 Falkirk
Mary colquhoun Henry
father:  james henry
mother: mary Grindlay

is this the right family - Henry  / grindlay

might help search if we were sure 

Diddy

Those are the correct parents, not sure about Colquhoun, just gives initial on M.C. which I read as G (for Grindlay)as middle name.

Hi Diddymiller & JustJean,
                                     Great response so soon:
Mary married Thomas Murphy, Carronshore, Larbert, 28/08/1894, Mary 48 and Thomas 44, witnessed by Annie Webster & James Fraser and marriage recorded at Stenhousemuir. Thomas was an Iron Moulder and Mary's father James a Miner (deceased). Thank you for Wheelan or Whelehan information, set me on an interesting hunt now.
                                              Cheers,
                                                      Dunmac.
