Hi lindylu,
thanks for looking,i know Samuel Hunter and Mary Jane Armstrong were married 11 july 1902 in Haddington but thats all.I think i will have to try the Scotlands people site.
Thankyou for looking and getting back to me.

Scottish records arent easy to find unless you visit the scotlands people website which is a pay per view site.

There are quite a few Samuel Hunters on the census so it would be hard to pin it down without a birth date. If you go onto Scotlands people you may be able to view their marriage certificate and find out what his parents were called.

I can find this one but there is no way of knowing if its the correct one or not without parents names
