    3. Hello List, I went on Scotlandspeople with my 20 free credits and got the bug again so paid for more. When I downloaded My Great Grandmothers sister's 3rd Marriage she put her maiden surname down as Rodger which was correct. Then at the side of that was Bain what through me abit as she married three times not four, But later when I downloaded her first Husband's death certificate he was known as Archibald Bain and not Porteous as I found him with Jessie in the 1891 census not long after they married. It turns out Archibald was illigitimet so was under his mothers maiden Surname as Porteous when he married Jessie Rodger. But he must have found out who his father was as on his death certificate it said his father was William Bain. His mother was Mary Porteous. Archibald Porteous now "Bain" was born in Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland about 1864. He married Jessie Rodger in February 1891 at 116, High Street, Fisherrow, Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Sorry but I have about 3 different dates I thought it was 25th February 1891 but on some of their childrens birth certificates is said 27th and 28th, so not sure. I have their marriage and it looks like 25th February 1891 to me? Archibald Bain and Jessie Rodger had 7 children to my knowledge. William Rodger Bain born 29th, April 1891 Alexander Rodger Bain born 29, January 1893 Margaret Bentley Ritchie Bain born 02, April 1895 Elizabeth Innes Bain born 1897 Archibald Bain born 29th January 1899 Isabella Rodger Bain born 16 November 1900 Mary Porteous Bain born 25th, December 1903. Most of their children were born at 29, South Street, Fisherrow, Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. If anyone has these people in their trees please contact me. Thank you in advance for any information I might recieve. Kind Regards Pamela J Groves nee Paxton
