Interesting, because it was supposed to be the actual day, not just the year, that was on birth certificates.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Ah. Well, if they give different dates on each birth certificate is does give credence to the suggestion that they are simply inventing a marriage that never actually took place.

Interestingly, I see that the IGI lists another child, Margaret, born 3 May 1872 in Glasgow Bridgeton, father's name given as John James McEwan Crawford, mother Mary Morrison. I wonder where the 'James McEwan' came from?

I have my doubts about the 1872 birth Forfarian simply because of the James McEwan naming. Is the father a slater by occupation?

Not having much luck finding him on the 1891 Census where was Mary and the rest of the family
Did the poor relief records not give a last  address for him

No last address or any address Rosie. It does say "charge to Bathgate" I had a look at 1891 for Bathgate but no John Crawford of that age

Re the Crawford family in Bridgeton - are they in 1871 census John, Mary, John b1867, James b 1869?and of course dad John being a slater.
I accept this could clash with 1871 Kilsyth entry
