I'm sure someone will be able to help you but you might be better off putting this on the records board. Sounds to me like a search through the parish marriage records is needed.

If John Love married in Scotland after 1855 then his mother's maiden name will be on his marriage registration.

If John, James or Elizabeth died in Scotland after 1855 then Elizabeth's maiden name will show on the death registration.


You can view the register on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk which is a pay per view site but it's reasonably priced

Cheers Claire
i have a copy of a proclamation of the marriage, but no parents names on them, it took place in 1849 in old monkland or coatbridge scotland.
