Lillias Taylor b. 12/02/1803 in Barony Lanark, to Walter Taylor and Agnes Gillespie, married George Rankin in 14/11/1830 in Barony, Lanark. I haven't been able to trace them at all after the marriage. Can anyone help?

Here they are in 1841 from FREECEN -

Piece: SCT1841/652 Place: Old Monkland -Lanarkshire Enumeration District: 10b
Civil Parish: Old Monkland Ecclesiastical Parish, Village or Island: Gartsherrie
Folio: 35 Page: 16
Address: Carlincroft Square

Surname First name(s) Sex Age Occupation Where Born Remarks
RANKIN George M 30 Furnace Filler Lanarkshire
RANKIN Lillie F 30 Lanarkshire
RANKIN James M 10 Lanarkshire
RANKIN John M 5 Lanarkshire
MCGHEE Andrew M 20 Labourer Outside Census County (1841)
CARSON Samuel M 25 Furnace Labourer Outside Census County (1841)
MCDOWAL Robert M 20 Furnace Labourer Ireland

James is married and living at Whitburn in 1861.

Not finding them in 1851 so far (except James).

Regards,
Annette

If you look for James's marriage on the IGI there is an Ancestral File on him where he ends up in Canada. It gives a 2nd marriage for George and a date of death.

About Ancestral File
Ancestral File is a collection of genealogical information taken from Pedigree Charts and Family Group Records submitted to the Family History Department since 1978. The information has not been verified against any official records.
Following the link for George shows a 2nd marriage in 1860. So
I'd check for that on SP and see if these dates etc match up with official records.

The IGI also shows a Christina born to George and Lilias in 1842.

Remember the other person could be wrong about Lillias's parents.

What info do you have that's concrete?

Annette

There's only 1 Lilias Taylor marrying a Rankin on the IGI in the approx time period.
There are a few other Lilias Taylors marrying 1 to a William Gillespie in 1833 in Glasgow.

Before you go off checking the various death certificates for the correct parents, it might be good to give us, as Annette sugested, what concrete facts you do have on the lady in question.

I'll give you what I have,
Lillias Taylor b.12/03/1803 Barony, Lanark, Parents are Walter Taylor and Agnes Gillespie who married in 27/04/1798 in Glasgow her siblings were
James, Agnes,Walter and William that's all I have about her. Will this help?
Regards Pat.

So Pat, you don't know for certain who [if anyone] she married?

Pity it wasn't Mr Rankine as there's a wealth of info out there

I'm not sure what to suggest next,
Looking at the 1841 there doesn't seem to be an obvious Lilias Taylor - so I assume she was married or had died by then.

There is a death for a Lil... Taylor born around 1803 on ScotlandsPeople in 1888 , but you'd have to check that to see if the parents names match.
There are some PRE1855 deaths but they might not have the information to determine if she's yours or not.
