Find Ancestors

Hello, I would appreciate any information anyone can provide me regarding the parents of John Malcolm, born Wick, Caithness, Scotland around 1862. He was married twice, first to Isabella Bain (born 1860 and died 1881) and second, to Helen Weir (born 1859 and died 1941). Many thanks, Dianne

As the marriages were in Scotland, either marriage cert will carry full details of both sets of parents Reg
