Hi

Scotlands People is the website you need to look for this information - it is a pay site by purchase of credits

Copies of the marriage certs will give you spouse parents details and you can then search for any children born to them and any subsequent marriage for those children

You can also use SP to search for any deaths

1881 census for Gladsmuir East Lothian

I would strongly recommend that you check the 1891 marriage to confirm his parentage as there are 2 Walter Muirs - one is Walter H - born within a year or so and both b Leith

Without confirmation - you could go down the wrong track

Matthew Muir 47 gardner b Haddon East Lothian
Sarah   45 b Leith
Mary Ann  23 b Ayrshire
Sarah   18 b Edinburgh
Walter  11 b Leith
George   9 b Edinburgh
Matthew   7 b Bathgate Linlithgow
John   4 b Bathgate
Susan  2 Months b Gladsmuir
Gladsmuir ED 5 Page  12 Line 1
