Question Milligan Wills

Hi, I am trying to trace my Scottish Family in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
My Grandmother was a WW1 warbride. She (Agnes Milligan) was born about 1895.
She married Mathewson Alexander during WW1 and immigrated to Canada in 1918.

She was the youngest of five children born to John Milligan born about 1870, a shoemaker and Agnes Wills born about 1858.

1. Mary Milligan born about 1882.

2. Ann Milligan born about 1885 who immigrated to Canada and married John McInall

3. Elizabeth Milligan born about 1887.

4. John Wills Milligan, born 1889, who immigrated to Canada with his wife Margaret Dale Grant, born 1891 and child Jane (Jean) born 1914. Jane married John Baird Whicher.

When Agnes became aware that she was pregnant in 1919 her parents and young John and his family came to Canada to assist her in her new home and immigrated. She had a daughter named Margaret Helen Alexander.

I have acquired information that Ann came later as well. I do not have any information on the remaining siblings other than a faint recollection that she returned to visit Glasgow on several occasions.

I am trying to trace any remaining family in Glasgow as well as any records of her marriage and birth in Glasgow Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hello

Have you looked at the General Register Office of Scotland's site, now re-named as Scotlandspeople?

They hold all births,deaths, marriages and some Old Parish Records, too.
Whilst the service is not free (I seem to recall that some of it may be,but not all) - as long as you marshall your questions, the service is good value for money!
