It's in the index at Scotland's People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Catherine Dargarvel or Copland died in Govan in 1927 aged 68. Note the extra r that has crept into her maiden surname. I searched for d*r*g*v*l with other surname c*p*l*nd.

Thank you Forfairian,  That is a big help. This time I didn't factor in  different spellings. I appreciate your help.

Going through my notes I now have noticed that a previous post has said that William Copland 33, married to Catherine Dargavel 31 - on their marriage certificate  has him marked as a widower.  I cannot find who he could have been married to before Catherine.  They are 33 and 31 years of age. an so it is likely that he was married before.  How can I find out who he was married to first?  Im afraid the William after William after William is doing my head in. Rather than getting it in order I seem to be getting more confused.  Any help would be great. thank you

1st check would be to check census - I note that in 1891 he had a son William bc.1878 Glasgow and  1881 he is married to Elizabeth with 3 year old William.

William Copland, 22, House Painter, married Elizabeth Parker, widow 29 on 11/2/1876 Glasgow.   His parents William Copland, Hair Dresser (Master) and Fanny Copland nee Kinnell.   Her parents John Wilson, Carver and Gilder (Master) and Isabella Wilson, formerly Simpson nee McAlpline (dec'd).

Looks like son William Copland was born 1877 Hutchesontown, Lanarkshire.

If he died in Scotland his death certificate should name all previous wives.
