8 Chalmers Street Greenock

Looks like tenements, lots of tenants (1920) all no. 8 no names we're looking for i.e. names of witnesses to the marriage may help?

This is from the VRs which aren't every yr, every 5/10 yrs depending on yrs being researched.

One of the witnesses to the marriage was a Margaret Taylor (could that have been her mother  ???)
Or did both her Mother/Father pass away in or before 1920 as indicated  by the ancestry tree.  ???

Sorry, missed a few posts  ::)

No Taylor or McLaughlan for 8 Chalmers Street.

Was the (deceased) for father written in full, if so, I think it does state mother deceased (in full) rather than sometimes written as 'dec'd'?

Will check for Taylor & McLaughlan in Greenock 1920.

So Margaret Taylor can't be the mother as mother's dec'd.

Will search deaths 1st.

Margaret Taylor was Alexander McLaughlan's sister.  May's parents according to the marriage certificate were both deceased in 1921.  I have never found a marriage for May's parents or deaths.  I have also considered May could of been Mary with no luck searching for May.  My mum was aged 15 when both parents had died and never knew if her mum had any siblings.
