Got not credits on Scotlandspeople to view image

Doing a free search gives a possible marriage in 1888 for Henry Knox to surname of Shirley - but if adding the christian name of Jane then you get no matches

This is the marriage found by Glitterbaby:

1888 KNOX HENRY SHIRLEY JEAN DENNISTOUN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/03 0301

Should point out that following the "Help Clinic" experiment I still have some credits for Scotlands People supplied by Genes. However, normally you need to buy these yourself.

Well, I might as well use the credits while I have them!
Alex is a "jobbing smith" so it looks like Glitterbaby has found them.
