Notes for Elisabeth ARBUCKLE
This Elisabeth is the only Arbuckle that fits known information found in any census. She and her family were found in 1841 & 1851 census. She was found with daughter Marion in 1861 & 1871 census. No marriage of George Scott and Elisabeth Arbuckle has been found and as daughter Marion is recorded in census as Marion Arbuckle it is reasonable to assume they never married.
Elisabeth lived in Glasgow with her daughter Marion at the time of the census of 1861 & 1871 and at the latter date lived only a few doors from Charlotte Walker.
Could death in NZ be a possibility? One possibility with Surname Scott but none found as Arbuckle. Checking Death records has ruled the following out , “1912/6767 Scott Elizabeth 86Y”. Her maiden name was Reid not Arbuckle.

Notes for George (Spouse 1)
Is this the right George Scott?
The death record of Marion Scott Walker (NZ 1913) gives her parents as George Scott, “Carpet Pattern designer” and her mother as Elizabeth Arbuckle. The Scottish census has only one George Scott who was a “pattern designer”. Unfortunately no record of birth or marriage of either George nor birth of daughter Marion have been found in the Scottish Parish records.
If George is as follows he also had a daughter Jane and his wife was Elizabeth Wilson, not Arbuckle according to George’s death record. The possibility therefore, assuming there was only one George, is that there were two Elizabeths, the first Elizabeth Wilson was the mother of Jane and was not found in 1851, so likely she had died and the second Elizabeth Arbuckle, resided in Glasgow in 1851 living with her parents and and probably never married George but gave birth to a daughter Marion in 1851.
Elizabeth Wilson’s husband George was a “Muslin” pattern designer on his death certificate whereas Elizabeth Arbuckle’s George is recorded as a “carpet” pattern designer on daughter Marion’s death record. Muslin became a popular fabric around the time of George’s death but there is no reason to think he didn’t design patterns for carpets around the 1850’s when Marion was born.
The information following summarises the census and death information of the only George Scott, pattern designer found.
