im also having trouble with charles murphy (b.1877) a coal miner hewer and matilda mcgowan (b.1873). they married 9th jul 1897, east longrigg near aidrie, lanark.
i have them in 1901 in new monkland, lanark, with sons charles, 2 and james, infant both born new monkland. charles sr says he was born in carronoarth? stirlingshire?. and matilda n. monkland, lanarkshire.
but i can't find their births, or them in any previous census. i have tried the igi, and what's more i cant find the marriage details of the parents either.
