Hello there,

All I know is Jessie McGregor married a James Burns in 1890, she was a domestic servant and he was a flower miller journeyman. She put her age down as 22, her father is Gregor McGregor (a farmer) and her mother is Anna McGregor (nee Park). James' parents are Peter Burns (a mason) his mother was Susan Burns (nee Smith)

James and Jessie married in Blythswood, Parish Church, Glasgow

I have 2 addresses (6 Main Street, Anderstone, Glasgow) and (172 Allison Street, Govanhill, Glasgow)

That is everything I know,

Thanks in advance if you can help me.
