I would think that if you got a copy of the Bell birth cert, you'd find that the entry on the index is erroneous

If you haven't found her birth, how did you determine that her mother's maiden name was Gleghorn (or Gelghorn as per your post)

If she was registered as Bell maybe her mother married later to George Hancock.

Wondering about this, being in same area.. be interesting to know if Margaret was a widow when she married

I think that's most likely her David, just not seeing a marriage of George to Margaret Gelghorn ? unless it was outside England?
