It could be , I haven't got the marriage certificate , I was asked to find the link to the Douglas it seems the mothers maiden name of Douglas is used for generations :(. Cynthia. I am sure they they are from East Lothian area cockenzie , aberlady , northberwick area . There are family rumours they stem from the Douglas family of Tantallon castle |

Do you think the first family is wrong from Midlothian and that the second family is more like it :) |

You really need to get the marriage registration from Scotlandspeople to confirm her parents names and her age when she married. |

So the two Mary Douglas Chirnsides found are first cousins. One is the daughter of George and his wife Alice and the other the illegitimate daughter of George's sister Katherine / Catherine. You need to buy the marriage certificate for your Mary Douglas Chirnside to know her parents. |

I did that and the Groom: Alexander Lyles father was Alexander Lyle Game Keeper and Mother seems to be Mary Lyle the writing is difficult to read but it might be written underneath Mary Lyle - M F Benzie |

Re Alexander's mother, that will be Mary Lyle - ms (maiden surname) Benzie. |

There are three births, any of which could be Mary, but presumably it's the Gladsmuir one, which rootgatherer has already posted from another site. The ScotlandsPeople ( GROS) ref nos. are below.: |

I don't see Catherine/Katherine Chirnside as such in 1901. Looks like she married:- |

If you look at that 1901 census on SP, credits will let you see the image, and you can see if she was widowed or not. |

The marriage shows Catherine as Mary's mother no father listed :0 |
