Hi Richard,

Thank you for the update, so at least we now know for sure who Louise's father was.

Death of James -

James Montgomery Wilson, Wholesale Stationer, 2 Lorraine Gardens, Kelvinside, Glasgow died 12 April 1933, Glasgow.

Apparently, James Montgomery Wilson was born in Govan, Lanarkshire on 25th July 1868, the son of John Wilson and Louisa Hilliard.
His wife was Mary Keith Wilson (maiden name Keith or something else?) They probably married about 1898. If we could find that marriage and the birth and death of Mary Keith, I would be very happy.
Thanks
Richard

There is an article in The Scotsman 13 April 1933 regarding James M Wilson's death, he was survived by a widow and two daughter's. So at least Mary was still alive in 1933.

There is a death of a Mary Keith Wilson, age 83 1955, New or East Kilpatrick. You will need some credits for ScotlandsPeople to view the details.

Great! Thanks so much JJ.
I just found that too when I added your info to my Anc***** tree.
 
I've added the 1955 death year too and I'll see what appears.

You are very welcome

Looking at Censuses for 1881 and 1891, Mary K Flett and Jane C Flett look to be twins i.e. they are the same age in both.
Anyway, I now have everything I wanted.
Thank you to all who contributed.
