Is there an address on the certificate?

I don't know if this anything, but there is a small announcement in the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald 07 May 1864 of a marriage at 10 Robertson Street, Glasgow, on the 26th ult. by the Rev. Mr. Weir, John Cameron, seaman, to a Jane Hosie, youngest daughter of Mr. Joseph Hosie, Saltcoats

I couldn't see a marriage to match Jane Hosie and I thought better to note it and be wrong than not mention it at all.

This is Sarah, born November 1st 1870 in Dobbs Ferry, parents John and Jane, baptised March 23 1871.
Cannot see any other obvious children there.

Probably they missed the 1870 American census and the 1871 British census?

Added:
No, apparently the poster has them in a census (1870) in USA before births.

I would like to thank you very much for the information you have given me concerning John Weir Cameron. He was married to Janet Reid Hosie she is buried in Largs in Ayrshire. I have some info on the Hosies but not the father who was Joseph Hossick. Apparently their name was Hossick but got shortened to Hosie I have not got a clue why. I have been looking for John Weir Cameron birth for ages and as I said the only info I have is from his marriage certificate. He was residing at the time in the Broomielaw Glasgow at the Seaman's hostel which was demolished c 1969 how they met I don't know but after their son John died they went to America and had two children over there then came back to Glasgow. I did find them on a census in New York. But not the birth dates of the two children. Anyway can't thank you enough for delving into my question Thank you.
