Hi Mark,
Just checked on Scotland People and there is a marriage in 1838 for Donald Monro to Ann ?
As I said in my pm I have no more credits left so can't view the record but I've managed to narrow it down to a date and place:-
Surname - Monro
Forename - Donald
Spouses Name - Ann
Date from 08 June 1838
Date to 08 June 1838
CountyCity - Angus
Parish - Dundee
Last search found 1 match.

Tried same thing using name of:-
Davidson
Ann
Donald
and found three marriages.
One on 7th July 1838 - Kirkden
Two on 21st July 1838 - Farnell

could be a good idea to check these all out to see what they say!

Marriage:-
DONALD MUNRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 07 JUL 1838 Kirkden, Angus, Scotland
Spouse: ANN DAVIDSON

there's also this one:-
DONALD MUNRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 21 JUL 1838 Farnell, Angus, Scotland
Spouse: ANN DAVIDSON

but as the family are more from Kirkden I would think the first is a better bet!

Just to confirm Catherine's inference abt bad page #s:

Lancashire Marriage indexes for the years: 1910

I have not as yet been able to prove what i set out to..however i can now confirm that the parents of John Davidson Monro are....

Father: DONALD MONRO as of yet no birth year / dateof marriage
Mother: ANNE DAVIDSON as of yet no birth year / dateof marriage

Looks like John in 1851:-
Name: John Monro
Age: 11
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1840
Relationship: Great Grandchild (Grandchild)
Gender: Male
Where born: Kirkden, Forfar
Parish Number: 286

Still not having much luck in finding George in 1891 and 1901 though???

Just had a look on "familysearch.org" and found this:-

GEORGE LOTHIAN MONRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 27 FEB 1873 Lochgilphead, Argyll, Scotland
Father: JOHN DAVIDSON MONRO
Mother: JANE CURTIS

there are also these two:-
JOHN WILLIAM MONRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 09 DEC 1868 Brechin, Angus, Scotland

ANNABELLA MONRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 05 OCT 1871 Lochgilphead, Argyll, Scotland

and this marriage:-
JOHN DAVIDSON MONRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Marriage: 08 OCT 1867 Mains And Strathmartine, Angus, Scotland
Spouse: JANE CURTIS

This looks likely as John Monro's birth record:-
JOHN MUNRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Birth: 30 OCT 1839
JOHN MUNRO - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Male Christening: 01 DEC 1839 Kirkden, Angus, Scotland
Father: DONALD MUNRO
Mother: ANNE DAVIDSON

and wife Jane:-
JANE CURTIS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 05 AUG 1843
JANE CURTIS - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 20 AUG 1843 Mains And Strathmartine, Angus, Scotland
Father: WILLIAM CURTIS
Mother: ISABELLA FITCHIE

you may, however, want to buy a few birth and marriage certificates to confirm all this!

This would be confirmed with the marriage cert. as it will give her fathers name and profession.

Hi Mark,
Glad the info has helped. Had a quick look on 1911 census and found the following:-

Last names MONRO
First names GEORGE
Sex M
Birth Year 1910
Age in 1911 5months
Residence LIVERPOOL
District/other West Derby
County/other Lancashire

Last names MONRO
First names MABEL
Sex F
Birth Year 1887
Age in 1911 24
District/other West Derby
County/other Lancashire

Can't seem to see George (father) though?
You can view the original record but you will have to buy credits to do so.

oK People i would just like to say MILLION thanks ...... a very strange hour or so has just passed.. learning something which was not known by any of us. We have a picture of the GLM and part from knowing he was a Butler we didnt know he spent a couple of yrs in the army and now we have his records ...a great days discovery

Birth of Mabel Monro:-
Births Sep 1917 (>99%)
Monro Mabel I (Patterson) W Derby 8b 1027

Now knowing that his wife was Mabel Patterson, the following is another possible child:-

Births Mar 1923 (>99%)
Monro Jean C (Patterson) Prescot 8b 1332
The district Prescot is in the county of Lancashire

unfortunately no Mary?

Other info from his Army Record:-

Height:- 5' 43/4"
Chest Measurement:- Girth when fully expanded - 35 1/4"
Range of expansion - 3 1/4"
Next of kin:- Mrs. Mabel Monro, Wife
Particulars of marriage:-
Name of Woman - Mabel Patheison (or at least that what it looks like)
Spinster
Date and place of Marriage:- 15/06/1910 Liverpool
Children:- George - 20/10/1910
William Davison - 17/02/1913
Mabel Isabel - 22/07/1917 (all Liverpool)

This would be the record for William which shows mothers maiden name as Patterson:-
Births Mar 1913 (>99%)
Monro William D (Patterson) W. Derby 8b 1322

This looks like the marriage record:-
Marriages Jun 1910 (>99%)
MONRO George Lothian W. Derby 8b 803
When you open the record Mabel is not noted on the same page but if you look for a record for her you will find the following:-
Marriages Jun 1910 (>99%)
PATTERSON Mabel W. Derby 8b 863

Could be that there is an error in the transcript of the page number.

Enlisted :- 18/04/1818
Called up for service :- 02/07/1918
First Training Balt :- Rank - Private 05/07/1918

Service:-
AR - 18/04/1918 to 02/07/1918
Home - 03/07/1918 to 29/031919
ARL - 30/03/1919

There is also a form which I think is a Demobilization Form:-
Reg No.:- 155241
Unit and Corp:- 10 Coy - Royal Army Medical Corps
Date of the stamp is 06/05/1919

Dispersal Certificate shows Dispersal Unit as:- Dispersal Hospital Military Hospital, Fort Pitt, Chatham - 01/Mar/1919

Protection Certificate and Certificate of Identity shows address as:- 27 Bridge Road, Mossley Hill, Liverpool
