3 matches, but none with a groom named TAYLOR or FLETCHER. And none early enough to preceed daughter Jane’s birth. Two were in Angus County and one in Perthshire, all 1832-1836. Actually, two of the three appear to me the same marriage, just reported in two counties the same day.

Searched for all Cath* FLETCHERs in 1881 census in the age range 78-82, found only one, age 80, a widow, living in Kilmaronock Parish, Dunbartonshire, in the household of her son-in-law, James DUNLOP. It says Catherine was born in Drymen, Stirlingshire. It appears that this same Catherine was living Glasgow Barony, Lanarkshire, in 1871, with her son, John Alexander FLETCHER. She was already a widow, then. A 60-year-old “Catharine” was in Kilmaronock Parish, Dunbartonshire, in 1861, but that record says she was born there rather than in Stirlingshire.
