John Thomson married Charlotte Campbell on the 19 Aug 1891 the address for both was 75 Whitevale Street Glasgow.

From your first post on this thread, the address where John was living at the time of his marriage. His mother Bridget with Hugh Cairns is showing as living in 1891 (and 1881) at 79 Whitevale Street.

It looks like Charlotte is living at Great Eastern Road, Camlachie, described as married and head of house. As luck would have it she is near bottom of page and it only shows sons John and James

Married 21 years, having 11 children but only 5 still living

Charlotte, born Rutherglen

I think I have found John in 1871 with Thomson maternal grandparents:

Andrew Thomson 50 Bricklayer Labourer  b. Ireland
Margaret Thomson 47 b. Ireland
Mary Thomson 17 powerloom weaver daughter b. Glasgow
Bridgt Duff 28 powerloom weaver daughter married b. Ireland
Susan Duff 8 granddaughter b. Glasgow www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQWH-98K
John Kennedy 3 Grandson b. Glasgow

Address: 21 East Hope St, Glasgow/ Calton

From this looks like reputed father for John was a Kennedy perhaps. Not uncommon for illegitimate children to flip between surnames.

It might be worthwhile looking at the birth record of Charlotte Campbell Thomson to see what info it gives on John

John Thomson married Mary Black on 14 Sept 1888 in the Dennistoun area of Glasgow. Mary Ann Black/Thomson, mother's maiden name Welsh, died aged 18 the following year, 1889. The death shows in St Rollox, Glasgow. See clip below from marriage. John still showing names like he did a couple of years later:

How can Mary Hollachan be his mother in law if her maiden was Duffy?

Maybe Mary was first married to Mr Duffy and then to Mr Hollachan?

Or maybe Mary's maiden name was Duffy, and she had Bridget illegitimately to Mr Thomson, then married Mr Hollachan?

Mary's death certificate might be quite interesting.
