Help with difficult Scottish death record

[GR2]

If it turns out to be too difficult to work out the name of Archibald's mother from this certificate, there is one other thing you might do. As he was illegitimate (if he was legitimate, his mother would be recorded here as Margaret Sommervill MS .....), you could find the parish of his birth from the 1851 census and look at the minutes of its kirk session for that time. The session would probably have investigated the birth and details of the parents would be given.

Agnes HENDRY, dau William & Jane WALKER is a sister of my ancestor James HENDRY m Katherine McFARLANE.

We know she married Archibald SOMMERVILLE, see this from 1999 - where the poster has both parties died before 1855.

The Archibald who died a widow in 1859 - how is it known he was the widow of Agnes HENDRY?

Regarding the mystery of his mother's maiden name.  Perhaps SHE re-married a FREW, hence Daniel FREW SOMMERVILLE b 1827

Name below Churchyard looks like James Hendry Beadle being his full name?

Hello,

Beadle will be James Hendry's occupation/role, not his surname.  He would have been an assistant in the parish and kept records etc.

Best wishes

I have found AN Archibald SOMERVILLE in the 1861 as 'father-in-law' of his son William SOMERVILLE [m Ann WALKER].  I presume Ann gave the relationship to the enumerator.

He was not the Archibald who died in Anderston in 1866 at 72y.

Thanks Rockford, makes more sense now!
