Found a marriage for Arthur

Arthur McKendry 30 married Annie Wooler26
on 29 Dec 1917 while they were both residing at 9 East Shaw Street

his parents as before

hers James Wooler Iron moulder
Martha Wooler m/c Picket

witnesses were C Williams and M Edwards

not quite sure why his death cert indicates that there is a marriage before but there is definately a space above Anne Wooler


edit had another look at the death cert

it has

McKendrick Arthur

Married?
Annie Wooler

so I am now thinking that the person who registered the death was uncertain as to whether they actually married rather than there being a first wife and thats why the married? is there

Thanks for everyone who has responded.

the info will give me at least another couple of footholds to try and expand this branch of the family.

Can't wait until the 1911 Census comes out for Scotland, should hold a lot of avenues to search.

Cheers Everyone
Iain
