Sharon, can you post up the bit of the marriage cert that shows parents' names, please, and we'll have a go at deciphering them?

It looks like Crawford Braen (not sure about that!) Widow of Thomas Samson coal miner. Which I think means that Thomas Samson wasn't his father but they don't know who was. But hopefully we can find Robert's birth reg now and it will make things clearer.

Children of Thomas Samson and Cra(w)ford Brown on FamilySearch
(all born Muirkirk, "extracted" entries): John 14 Feb 1860 Janet 7 Dec 1862 John 5 Dec 1864 Christina 27 Mar 1867 James 8 Feb 1870 Elizabeth 26 Jan 1872 William 9 Jan 1874 There is also a "submitted" entry for a Mary born about 1877 but that may or may not be correct. So we need to look for Thomas's death in or after 1874 and Robert's birth, oh, and of course we should be able to find the family on the 1881 census now which should show whether Thomas was around then or not.

According to ancestry, Crawford was the head of household in 1881 and Mary age 4 was the youngest child, but you would have to look on Scotland's People to see whether Crawford is listed as a widow.

There are a few possible Robert Samson births at Muirkirk listed on Scotland's People, for instance 2 between 1881 and 1882. Unfortunately it doesn't let you specify mother's name on the search so you would have to view the results to work out which one is the right entry.
