Hi Astra
seems I made a mistake with my inital posting.

What I wanted to find out was who was John Devlin (not James as stated) married too....on both Marriage & Death Certs it says Mary Canning.

However, when I look more closely...there seems to be a conflict regarding her mother. On the Marriage it states her Parents were Humphrey Canning & m.s Mary Armour, but on her death cert it says m.s Mary Sharp as her mother.

Can't find out a birth cert for her on Scotlandpeople or any census records for her...think she was born around 1842 as she was 20 when married in 1862.

Hope this helps a bit, and sorry for the mistake earlier.

Trying to find my GG Grandparents on my Mothers side.
There seems to be a conflict on the surname of my GG Grandmother.

James Devlin (c1840) married a Mary Canning in 1862 in Greenock, Scotland. However when looking for info on her family there seems to be nothing at all.

Have her parents as Humphrey Canning (Buchanan) & Mary Armour. Have tried the census records with no results and can't find any death record for them either.

Can anyone find a link?
