In 1871 Andrew and Margaret are living at 217 South Wellington Street, Glasgow. They have a two year old son John living with them. He appears to have been born as John Galt ( mother Margaret Galt) in Govan in 1869. All the census point to Andrew Richardson being born in Whithorn, Wigtonshire around 1844 and Margaret being born in Stranraer, Wigtonshire around 1845/46. Andrew is described variously as a Seaman/Ferryman

Do you think Andrew could have been Margaret's second husband?

Margaret Galt or Richardson died in Patrick in 1914 age 68. You can view both the 1870 marriage certificate and her death certificate on Scotlandspeople for a small fee and that should give the names of her parents. The marriage certificate would be the better one to view as that will also give the names of his parents and also confirm if she was a widow or not.

The 1914 death is indexed under Richardson Galt and Greig so she may well have been married previously.

I think I have found Margaret surname Greig living with her 40 year old mothe Jannet Greig in Stranraer in 1861. Jannet was born in Ireland.
