Really unusual for a Statutory Scottish birth cert to state how many children (or the order of births). The only exception was entries for 1855 and pre official reg. on the Old Parish Registers. Could there be any confusion with the writing on the statutory register entry you have? Is the writing clear or could it be something else?

We had possible entries for Mary Welsh in 1891 and 1901. No other children showed with her if we have the right entries for her. She may well have had more children but hard to think how you could begin searching for them except doing as you have done for Mary Ann's birth.

 Here is a cropped coy of the birth certificate. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
Thanks Angela

Scotlands people finally released my grandmothers Mary Smith's death certificate 1964. Now I'm even more confused. It gives her father as Nicholas Smith deceased then her mother as Mary Welsh afterwards Tollan also deceased. I've tried Scotlands people for a marriage and death for Mary Welsh Tollan but have had no luck. I have never found a marriage or death for her with Nicholas Smith. Any ideas where to go next.
Thanks Angela

Can someone confirm what the last name is Tollan on the certificate for me. I have searched scotland's people I can't seem to find anything.
