William Galloway

[Suzy W]

Looking for this couple after marriage.
William Galloway married Margaret Milne 12th July 1828 Kilspindie, Perthshire.

Any births to the couple?  Census or even death.  May of left Scotland, as I just can not see anything after marriage.

Thanks

Births and deaths - have you checked  www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

There is an 1851 entry for a William Galloway aged 81 and wife Margaret 58 living in Kilspindie - have you already discounted it?  William born there and Margaret b Inchture.  No children with them

Any clues on the 1828 marriage entry re ages?  Were they single or widowed etc?

[Suzy W]

Really 1851, why didn't that show up for me?
 Margaret should be 51, born 1800 Huntly Burn.  That is quite a large age gap

[CaroleW]

There is an 1841 entry with 5 children but William is 55 and Margaret 56 so don’t know if it’s the same couple

Children
William 20
Agnes  15
Andrew 15
Alexander 13
John 11

The 1851 could be a mistranscription re Williams age - could be 61 and Margaret 50 not 58 but the original image would need to be viewed to confirm that

Ignore the 1841 entry above and have a look at this one

1841 living in Kilspindie transcribed as Gallaway

William 67
Margaret Miller 37

Was William married to a Margaret(May) Porter first ?

Thank you kindly. 
I must of been looking for a much younger man, not realizing there was such an age gap between the couple.
Kilspindie now confirms the correct death of Margaret's mother Jean Elder, so that was a great help.

Thanks again.  I can tuck this couple into bed now.  Very big family with a common name with different spellings.
