www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk but difficult to search for that type of info as not all births show mmn

Doig is an unusual surname but Johnstone isn't

You could try buying a copy of Margaret & Jane's death certs to see who reported their deaths & their relationship to them.  Jane's death cert should be available to download from SP

One possible child for Margaret and husband John Doig.

Birth and death show on SP.

There is an Ancestry family tree if you have a subs, www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/188270568/person/322448839257/facts

No additional siblings showing on it.

Possibility that Ian Doig may have been the only child. Looking at the Glasgow electoral rolls, only Ian shows with parents John and Margaret through the 1950s. He married in 1959 so shows with wife after that year.

Ian Kerr Doig married in Partick in 1959.  His wife was b 1937 & appears to still be alive as no death showing on SP

Possible birth of a son in 1961

Hi Carole  I have the name of wife of Ian.  Ii would appear that they did have a child in 1961 to determine who it was I will have to take chance and purchase a couple of certificates.Regards stoop.
