the only information on her wedding certifcate was that her father was William Lindsay and he was a burgh surveyor but I think that this could possibly have been her uncle as I have now discovered that on the scotland census 1881 a Mary Ann Hannah is shown aged 7 as William Lindsays niece

Yes Susan. That's what we were saying. There is no birth registered for a Mary Ann Hannah only that birth posted for Mary Ann Lindsay. If you get that birth registration , it may give an occupation for her mother and an address.

Looked at the birth for you. Mary Ann Lindsay was born 23 April 1873 at REDFORD, Dysart. She was illegitimate and her mother Elizabeth Lindsay, a Domestic Servant registered the birth..

I think that proves quite conclusively that Mary Ann gave her uncle's name and occupation as that of her father.

I will try to send you the birth registration by PM.
