No address on the certificate, just says the burgh of Glasgow.
Wow patches thanks! I'm going to assume this is a relation to my grandfather.

Family search does show a possible marriage for "Elizabeth" Archer to Robert Russell in 1861 in Glasgow.

Trouble with Scottish research is that quite often woman do use their maiden names

Yeah she was registered as Mary Archer but the birth certificate states that Eliza Archer was wife of Robert Russell. I would have assumed that she would have taken Russell as the surname but it just states that she was registered as Archer.
