Hey Gloria Someone may correct me if i'm wrong but i dont think marriages that far back recorded fathers names, sometimes for the bride but not the groom. I'll be posting a new thread in about a week or two for my next trip to the records office so watch out for that. Happy New Year Mhairi

Happy New Year to you. If you do go in January perhaps you can help me with this one. Looking for the marriage of Isabella Hood. Think she may have been married twice to 2 different McKerrow one George and one William. Isabella HOOD b1744 d 1789. What I really need is the parents of her husbands. William McKerrow b1733 d 1807 If you can confirm their marriage and the McKerrow parents I may be able to connect another branch to my tree. Dont know George's date of birth. Thanks GLoria

Christine Jessie Ellis 21/10/1907 William Ellis Mary Phillips Married on the 31/12/1906 Bridie Sorry but I couldn’t find a marriage or a death. I might be back to the records office in January, if I’m available to do lookups then I’ll look again if you can provide parents names if you know them. Isobel Sorry but I couldn’t find a death of either John Hogg or Marion Martin. Janet Sorry but I couldn’t find the marriage and I searched all the years up to his second marriage. Is it possible that he married in England? Lucia Margaret Mellon Fraser 15/10/1918 Flora Fraser
