Let me know what info you want and I will help if I can.

Kaz, I reckon the Bridgeton Sloss's are related to my own branch from the Campsie area of stirling :-)

Robert Sloss married Janet Nimmo on the 23rd of April 1886 at Loudon, Ayr

the marriage certificate provides no details of Robert's father and gives his mother's name as Margaret

This might mean that Robert was born on 21st of April 1864 at Mauchline, Ayr but there's no definite link that I know for certain

I've not seen Margaret's death certificate or that of Robert or Janet.

There was a family consisting of Robert & Jane (both aged 27) along with two sons (James & John) and a daughter Jane in the 1891 census in Kilmaurs. Again I don't know if that's the right family but the age of the father is right and it's not a great leap from Janet to Jane.
