Margaret Gorrie McGregor? B 1858 Glasgow

[Pricey4848]

Trying to locate birth / marriage details for a Margaret Gorrie and think maiden name could have been McGregor.

She was born c1858 in Glasgow area and married a James Arthur Parkes around 1879/1880.

Parkes was an army Quartermaster / Captain and they lived in army barracks in Hamilton for a while.

Parkes was from Manchester.

We know Gorrie features in her names as it is on the census and her headstone in Manchester but she called her eldest child Mary McGregor Parkes in 1880 so we were wondering if McGregor was her maiden name??

We cannot find her marriage certifcate but we suspect that Parkes went to Canada for a while so we dont know if they married over there.
