Have you looked at different spelling eg Morrison for second name.

[McKelvieClan]

Yes Moryson is spelt Morrison on different birth certificates. We

I see nothing for her nor her parents in Scotland.

Perhaps she hailed from England or elsewhere although I did check the FreeBMD site which yielding nothing.   

Or, because of the basis of her marriage, she could have told a small fib.

You could try tracking down Brown which wouldn't be easy.

There was a child born in England under that name.  They moved to Scotland and mother died when child young.  It was not her when you delved into it. 

I have been trying to research her for about 5 years! Lots of false hope!

No luck with Browne.

Her first two children I obtained eldest child’s marriage certificate and death certificate of second child she gives one maiden name. 

Your grandmother did not give the information on the eldest child's marriage certificate, the child themselves would have given that information.  It is not unusual to see wrong names for parents on marriage certs.  Was your grandmother the informant on the second child's death certificate or was it someone else?

On my grandmothers wedding certificate one of the witnesses was called by the second maiden name and for some reason she has taken her name.  The witness I have tried to trace her background and if I take her first name and the first maiden name I can only find a birth, no marriage or death certificate.    She is two years older than my grandmother.  Driving me mad!

She was two years younger, not two years older.  Margaret Caldwell GOWLING was born in Possilpark district in 1915,  married Milton district in 1942 to William Huntley POLLARD and she died in Ayr district in 2009.  Note that deaths of women in Scotland are indexed twice under both their married surname and their maiden surname.

Hi,

I've looked at your other thread in Handwriting and Deciphering.
I don't think that it reads Charles Browne Son.
I think it may read Charles Browne Von.
There was a man of that name born in 1915 in Glasgow ( deceased 1995).

Good find.  Neither bride nor groom were old enough to have a son who could make a declaration.
