When you say that you would like to find Catherine's family, do you mean ancestors or descendants please?

Her marriage entry to Andrew will give her parents' names including her mother's maiden surname. If she died in Scotland, then her death entry will give all spouses if the informant knew the details.

Your Catherine in 1901 before her marriage.

Is William McGregor named on Robert's birth certificate please?

It is more usual, if the husband is not the father for this to be stated on the birth certificate.

Catherine Garland married Andrew Connelly 2/2/1903 and she was lvivng at 11 John St Dundee at the time. She later had a son with William McGregor called Robert on 24.12.1921 in Dundee. Roberts birth cert shows Catherine's husband as Andrew Connelly. So it seems that William and Catherine weren't married. William later married Jane Thompson and had a son David who died aged 8 but I can't find any marriage certificate for William. He also had 2 children young. He was born 1895. I would think that his son would have also been called William. He had a daughter too. We know nothing else. I would like to find Catherines family and also Williams first wife and children details.
