Located following 1881 ( 3rd April ) Census which does seem to be the couple ...one thing that concerns me is daughter Bridget King is not there as per ages given on some of her documents she was born between 1877 and 1881 ... ? Possible she was born just after census was taken ...?
Mary (Kane) King married 2nd husband ( Patrick Higgins ) on 22nd July 1881, a widow with her age recorded as 35, residence at time of marriage 44 College St, Dumbarton, Parents are a match as above .....
Possible that John King ( 1st husband ) died between 3rd April - 22nd July 1881 ...? but no death in the Scottish indexes for a death between these dates....?
Located a female birth for a Bridget Catherine Kane ( illegitimate ) to a mother named Bridget Kane of 28 College St, Dumbarton, with a RCE (corrected entry ) which reads : that the mother Bridget Kane had claimed an action of paternity against Patrick Casey occupation riveter of Dumbarton as being the father of the female child.
So could it be that John King left his wife, due to her having an external relationship which produced a child ? and the father who was named Patrick Casey could well be Patrick Higgins and Bridget Kane is actually Mary ( Kane) King ? .....
