[Rayjamgor]

on his marriage cert to Agnes Miller  in 1872 his father Joseph is deceased ad mother Catherine (Parker)alive . I can find no trace of a marriage of death certs for either of them. So far ive made contact with my granda James Dunlop Taylors brother Alexander Dunlop Taylors family and they have the same problem . Any ideas to go further back? thanks Ray .

Good morning Ray,
Have you found William on the 1851 or 61 Census with his parents?

Morning loobyloo , the first i can track William is his marriage in 1872 to Agnes Miller then the census in 1881 , deserted family in 1891 and back in 1901  and dies in 1903 . Agnes seems a stumbling block too . All other lines in family go back the extra generation apart from William and Agnes . Cant find a birth for him either on SP or for Agnes. tried Family search too and ancestry and drawn a blank . hit the brick wall as they say and i build walls for a living

Like Ev I had found  a Catherine Parker on the 1851 at Kirkintilloch.
I cannot see a  likely candidate for Joseph Taylor in the area 
There is a marriage of a Catherine Parker to an Angus Carrie at Kirkintilloch  on 10th Oct 1856.
I wonder if Catherine had William outside of marriage or was widowed young.
This couple  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTR5-3Y4  might be worth looking at on the 1861.

i got the marriage cert of angus carrie and catherine parker 29/09/1856 and shes aged 27 and noted as a spinster . So its possible she had william 6 years before out of wedlock as no marriage to joseph .   thanks again for your help ev and loobyloo

Ray,
I've been trying to find the couple on the 1861 Census, hoping to find William with them but so far no joy.
I think the spelling of Carrie may have many variations - Kerry, Cairy, Carey, Carry  etc.

Hi everyone,
There's a wee boy on the 1851 census called William Taylor age 1 listed as lodger living in Lanarkshire - the Catherine Parker Ev and Looby found was born in Lanarkshire. The family he's with is called 'Ker' living at 50 Braxfield Row.

Ray,

How sure are you that William was born in 1850 Kirkintilloch Dunbartonshire?

Found this family on 1851 Census living at 10 Well Street, Calton Glasgow

The family have 4  adult lodgers and a child John Duffie aged 2 noted as an adopted son but it's not clear if he is the adopted child of the Taylors or one of the lodgers.

Also living a stone's throw down the street are this family

This family have a visitor an Alexander Christie  aged 35 a Cork Cutter living with them.

Could this be the William Taylor and Agnes Miller who marry in 1872?
