Pauline, I have sent the marriage and death registrations to your inbox.

I had the same parents for her thank you so much

These are the John Lang Allan deaths registered in Scotland since 1855



1 1864 ALLAN JOHN LANG M LOCHWINNOCH /RENFREW 570/00 0008
2 1965 ALLAN JOHN LANG Not Permissible M 81 DUNOON /ARGYLL 510/01 0182
3 1976 ALLAN JOHN LANG Not Permissible M 80 KILMARNOCK /EAST AYRSHIRE 666/00 0310


It is possible that the informant did not give his middle name and therefore it won't appear on the index.

I did have a look at the second marriage certificate and Jessie has given her status as Spinster when she married Jeremiah James Barnes Smith. Jeremiah was a Wine and Spirit Merchant and 10 years Jessie's senior. Jessie's parents, George Stanborough and Isabella m.s. McAuslan were both deceased.

Was there a John Lang Allan born 1853 Glasgow who married Jessie and is there any death for him before Jessie married Smith
looked on Ancestry but maybe I will have to join Scottish People thanks for your help

Thank you

Pauline, in Scotland it is quite usual for a woman's remarriage to be indexed using her maiden surname. Her re-marriage is probably also indexed using her married name but I only searched using her maiden name.

Not sure about that census Shirley as her second marriage was in Hutchesontown and her death was registered in Govanhill just a couple of miles along the road.

Looks like there was at least two john Lang Allan 's
