I wonder if this is the Shore Cottage still? www.flickr.com/photos/98346459@N00/3413796423/in/photostream/
The 1925 Valuation Roll for the property shows three people registered there:
William Adams - Owner
William Fraser - Tenant
Miss Elizabeth Richmond - Tenant
Unfortunately, the 1925 Valuation Rolls is currently the earliest one you can look at online via SP. They can be searched annually at an appropriate local reference facility however, understand this is not practical for you given your location.

The photo is lovely thank you...just my type of place. I have been there years ago, went to visit the Castle, walked my dogs on the beach so likely I walked passed those cottages all I know is from the marriage cert in 1933 is shore cottage was his address. As a structural engineer the Firth of Clyde is not too far away so that is a likely place he could have worked.
I wonder how the met? Nellie was in Glasgow, although on marriage certs that might mean she had a suitcase there stayed for a few weeks prior and from the address of the marriage ( Howard St Glasgow) it seems it was a type of registry office.
As for her 1st marriage to a Mr Barker having done some online research the only one I can find is

A couple of years ago I thought I found him born Mancester in 1889, 1901 Belfast Northern Ireland, 1911 Larne Apprentice Northern Ireland, 1912 Signed the Ulster Covenant in Larne and merrily researched his family back, father from Belfast, mother from Buckinghamshire, even going further back to Cornwall then I found him married to someone else and dying in Belfast in 1920, so after some more research I found him buried in Lisburn NI (WW1 Northumberland Fusiliers) so it was not them, or not him anyway, maybe I need to go and research Nellie Clements I found living in Larne who signed the Declaration in 1912, I know she was in Nottinghamshire in 1911 so it should be easy to see if there are two Nellie's as Larne/Belfast to Firth of Clyde could be a possiblity with his type of work.
.......and last night I realised I also need to write down all Auntie Ellen's stories and first hand knowledge of the times I spent with her or they will be lost for any future generations, now that alone could turn into a book
