Please would someone be kind enough to do a look up for me for a William Bell.

From his daughter Mary's 1890 marriage certificate I know he was married to Catherine Bell (nee McCuaig) and his occupation was given as a rivettor (?). The marriage of William's daughter to Robert Morgan took place in Greenock, Renfrewshire so I am guessing the family lived in that area.

If anyone has access to census records for Scotland & can find any information for me I would be very grateful.

Thank you

Anne

Was Mary age 23 on her marriage? If so William will not have a birth cert as he would have been born prior to when registration was introduced in 1855.

Both his parents should be named on his marriage registration which can be bought online from ScotlandsPeople
