Hi Annie,Margaret was married 1880 or earlier,Partick or Perthshire. Helen was born in Perthshire,not sure where she was married but it would have been around 1916-17,not found on cencus.

Helen and James were married 1903 Blythswood Lanark if you download the wedding cert it will gie you their parents names and the birth cert will also give you date of marriage for Andrew and Margaret as have found one but her name isn't McClure could the McClure have come from one of Helen's grandmothers

[Vegan64]

It could have done,I didn't think of that.

I think Margaret’s maiden name is actually Galt. There is a birth in 1871 for Margaret Richardson daughter of Andrew Richardson and Margaret Galt which would match with the 1881 census which includes a Margaret age 10 born Glasgow. Andrew Richardson and Margaret Galt married in 1870 in Hutchesontown, Glasgow.
