I'm guessing the 140 yards of muck was the  family estate    but what's a whissel

Thank you all for your input, I had thought about an irregular marriage !! the birth cert of Maggie gives the nurse as witness and Thomas as father and the death cert for Catherine in 1887 age 61 gives Thomas as husband and she died of carcinoma very bad and brother Hugh as witness.
She was born 1826 at Coldingham, parents John Lamberton & Margaret Scott.

So there is something very dodgy about Thomas, though she maintained her married ! name, will have to find a marriage for Maggie, though doubt if it will help.

Further to above, 5/6/1883 Eyemouth.

Mgt.Johnston Tynan 25 sp. parents Thomas Tynan, Engineer & Catherine Tynan nee Lamberton.
Married Andrew J Brack bat. Sp. Dealer.

Why not wit. mothers death? and still stick to legitamacy on marriage, hope it was all forgotten?

I presume it didn't say that Thomas was deceased on the cert, Becky

Hi Gadget,

No it didn't would be surprised if it did, think it was a one off and he was never heard from again.

Hi Beckey

My 3 g grandmother had two children, male and female. On their marriage certs they both state the same parents and fathers occupation, neither claim to have been illigitimate but they were. They were born before 1855 so no certs for information.

The 'fathers' name ran down through the family until the 1930's, I suspect this person was the father but married someone else 

Not saying this is what has happened here just giving an example of confusion.

I don't think there is anything unusual about the daughter not registering the death.

Hi terry hastie,

Thanks for reply, had a few illigitimate certs. but at least they accepted the fact even some derogatory remarks by the Minister.  Catherine had another child in 1867 but this time no father mentioned latter died 1870

It just seemed peculiar that they reverted to the mothers name Lamberton then back again, perhaps to cover up.  Also had a few that married and vanished leaving the wife to get on with it.

I just thought it peculiar that Margaret was in Eymouth or near bye and Catherine's brother had to travel from Glasgow to witness the death.
